John Craig Robinson 62 of Etobicoke, ONT, passed away on August 6, 2024 following a short illness. John was a graduate of the Special Education Program at Kingsmill Collegiate Institute and an active member of Islington United Church. John inspired all of us with his courage, good nature and loud laughter while enduring the many challenges of cerebral palsy. Somehow the Toronto Maple Leafs, Raptors, Blue Jays and Argonauts will have to move forward without their biggest fan.
John is survived his brother Donald and sister-in-law Carol of Etobicoke, brother David and sister-in-law Irene of Dallas, Texas, sister Patricia Beveridge and brother-in-law Kevin of Guelph, and many nieces and nephews including Donald Edward Robinson and his wife Megan Enns Robinson of Oakville, Gregory Robinson of Etobicoke, Matthew Robinson and his wife Dr. Phi Robinson of Dallas, Texas, Dr. Aimee Robinson-Humann and her husband Dr. Walter Humann of Dallas, Texas, Sophie Robinson of Dallas, Texas, Jennifer Beveridge of Hong Kong and Laura Beveridge of Victoria, BC.
