WHAT’S UP Y’ALL, Oh my God! Look at y’all looking good for your boy, slime. All this for little ol’ me? But listen… This is “The Final Session.” I know this sounds crazy. I know some of y’all are hurting. I know there are tears being shed right now. But stop for a minute. Wipe those tears. Trust me, I got it. I’m good. Now let me tell y’all where it all started. 

A’DARRIUS “BOOBIE” JOVON ROBINSON

January 7, 1997 – June 8, 2026 - I was born on January 7, 1997, in Saginaw, Michigan, to William “Pearl” Robinson and Merylin “Shanta” Robinson. I attended Bridgeport Schools and graduated in 2016 from the Education Training Center. Yeah… the big Class of ’16.

TO MY FAMILY... Man, family… Y’all already know. I love y’all. To my funny-built, thrown-together pops, William “Pearl” Robinson… Man, you know I love you. I’m gonna miss you, Pops. Thank you for everything.

To my mama, Merylin “Shanta” Robinson (William Mason)… Thank you for your love, your strength, and for always being there for me.

To my bonus mom, Jasmine Robinson… Thank you for your love, support, guidance, and acceptance.

To my beautiful children, A’vahh and Jo’Ziahh… Y’all are my heart. Y’all are my purpose. Y’all are my legacy. Everything I did, I did for y’all.

To my brothers, Brandon (Marissa), Trayvon, Anthony, and my little ugly dude William Jr. (“Boy Boy”)… Man, I love y’all.

To my sisters, Essence, Heaven, Yazmine, and Saige… Thank y’all for every memory, every laugh, and every moment.

To my grandmas, Ocrine, Bobby, and my bonus grandma Cora Morris… And to my Granddaddy, John… Thank y’all for helping shape me into the man I became.

TO MY FAMILY & FRIENDS Okay now cousins… I don’t want to hear nothin’! It’s a lot of y’all. But Qwan, Ronnie, Kanisha, George, Lashonda, MuMu, and John— Y’all know what it is. Nothing but love. 

Man… I just realized how much love surrounded me. So much family. So many friends. Great aunties. Great uncles. And all types of people who loved me. That’s a blessing.

To my REAL friends… Marcel, AJ, and Justin. Our bond and loyalty is like no other. I’m gonna love and miss y’all so much. I know y’all got me.

REMEMBER ME

Family and friends… We’ve made so many memories. The good always outweighed the bad. Remember me as I was. Remember the laughter. Remember me being goofy. Remember me talking mess around y’all. Remember my smile. And don’t forget my sexy chocolate self.

 Okay… Okay… I quit. I ain’t gonna keep going. But as I write my final bars…Understand this… I’m in good company. Grandaddy James. Great-Grandaddy John. My special cousin Angela. My grandma Maggie. And my best friend, Letavian “Tae.” MY FINAL MESSAGE Play those records. Turn the music up loud. Dance like nobody’s watching. Laugh. Love. Live. Become Legendary. Whenever you think of me…Smile. Because I carried y’all with me every day of my life. And I’ll always carry y’all with me.

 I’m out. Until next time…

FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS, FOREVER IN OUR STORY, THE FINAL SESSION
