RIP - BMX Legend Kevin Robinson passes.
A local Rhode Islander and big time BMX/X Games competitor passes away of a sudden stroke.
Quote:
An incredible athlete, role model and father leaves a legacy of inspiration.
Within sport, certain athletes are revered not only for their accomplishments but also for their strength of character. Kevin Robinson sits high in their ranks, a man who drove himself to achieve grand heights but took equal joy from helping those around him realize their own potential. Sadly, he suffered a sudden stroke and passed away on Dec. 9, 2017, at just 45 years old. There won’t be another like him...
...Through the K-Rob Foundation (founded in 2010), he and wife Robin have worked to transform the lives of young people in his native East Providence, Rhode Island. The foundation helped establish a safe, local skatepark and strives to make athletics available to all children who want to take part. Through speaking engagements, Kevin instilled the importance of setting goals and working through adversity to achieve them, no doubt inspiring all who heard his words.
