Brian Robinson

Brian Ray Robinson, 42, passed away on Saturday, December 18, 2021 at his home in Peppertown. Born in Amory on October 22, 1979, he was a son to Willie R. Robinson and Donna Reeves Harlow. Brian was a graduate of Hatley High School class of 1998. Furthering his education, he attended ICC and graduated from Mississippi State University with a bachelor’s degree in education. While at MSU, he was equipment manager for the Bulldogs and would break down the film for Coach Sylvester Croom. He married the former Jaclyn Morgan on August 6, 2005. Following his graduation, he coached in Starkville, Alcorn Central, Nettleton, Jumpertown but currently he was assistant football coach for the Tupelo Golden Wave. He held several state championships as a powerlifting coach. Football was his passion, but Coach Robinson was an educator who taught world history and conveyed the importance to his students of how history affects us today. He was an accomplished, self-taught guitar player and singer and played in many area venues. He was an avid fisherman, and some may even consider him a grill master. Family was most important to him which was evident by the way he adored his wife with all of his heart. Brian attended Bethel Baptist Church in Dorsey.
