Mr. Leon S Robinson

Leone (Leon) Sanders Robinson was born November 25, 1939 in Dallas, Texas to his parents Iralee and Sterling Robinson. Leon attended schools in Dallas, including Booker T. Washington High School. During his high school years, Leon married and became a father to his surviving children, Renee’ Robinson Davis, Necia Robinson Thomas, Dwayne Keith Robinson, Mickey Robinson Wright, a predeceased son Leone Robinson, Jr. Two additional children were born during a subsequent marriage, a surviving daughter Anjanette Robinson Webster and a predeceased son, Darrell Robinson. Leon worked determinedly throughout his life to provide for his children and family. During the early years, he worked as a bus boy at Baker Hotel and later as a nurse’s aide at Woodlawn Hospital. Leon later became employed full-time as an occupational therapy assistant at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas, while simultaneously working full-time at General Motors Parts and Warehouse Division in Dallas and Everman, Texas. Leon retired from Parkland Hospital and General Motors after working 30 years on each job. After these retirements, Leon earned a commercial drivers license and returned to work as a bus driver with Dallas County Schools. He retired from Dallas County Schools after 15 years of employment. On February 11, 1981, Leon married his devoted wife Linda Dianne Ross. The two made their home in Dallas, Texas where they unwaveringly supported each other in all of life’s endeavors, including growing spiritually and owning a private occupational and physical therapy business, Occupational Health Solutions. Leon was most proud of his sure salvation through Jesus Christ, Our Savior and his membership and fellowship at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. Leon became a member of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship Church on June 4, 2000 where he served in the Parking Lot Ministry, as a special event driver for The Women of Courage, and a member of the Couples Small Group. Leon’s life scripture was Philippians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Leon would quote this verse with such excitement and end by saying “I’m in a win/win situation!” All who knew Leon agree that his most admired qualities were his honesty and integrity, dependability, commitment and love for his wife, friends and family, and his faith in God. He leaves to cherish his memory, his wife Linda Robinson; mother in law, Jessie Mullen; devoted sister, Patricia Henderson (Roger); brother in laws, David Chandler (Sheila) and Lloyd Ross (Pat); brothers in Christ, Anthony B. Brown, Phillip Murray, Sammy Blackmon, and Pastor Bobby Gibson; and numerous first cousins including Annie Kathryn White, Victor Matthews (Michelle), S.T. Bradley (Emma), Melvin Bradley, Gene Bradley, Robert Bradley and numerous others.
