Daryl Wayne Robinson

PROVIDENCE FORGE, VA - Daryl Wayne Robinson, 47, of Providence Forge, Virginia, formerly of Houston, Texas, was taken into the arms of Jesus Monday, May 16, 2016. Daryl is survived by his wife of 16 years, Stacy Strenkowski Robinson; two children, Samuel Polk and Leah Grace; parents Peter and Linda; two brothers James (Anne Ketter) and Bryan (Angela); a sister Lara Robinson-Basjert; and numerous nieces and nephews. Daryl deeply affected the lives of those that he met. He demonstrated his love of his family and community with caring and generosity. Daryl was a beloved coach in the New Kent community, with some of his fondest memories coaching with his dad at his side. He was a mentor to many. There wasn't a child he didn't encourage with his positive attitude and enthusiasm. Friends and loved ones will remember him as an avid Texas A&M graduate, class of '91 (Gig 'em!). Daryl's cancer diagnosis brought him closer to God, and he became an example of encouragement to others, even while he was courageously fighting himself. Visitation will be held from 2-4 and 6-8 P.M. on Thursday, May 19, 2016 at Vincent Funeral Home, 9923 Pocahontas Trail, Providence Forge, VA 23140. There will be a private burial on Friday, May 20, 2016, and a Celebration of Life service will be held at New Kent Christian Center, 9660 Tunstall Road, New Kent, VA 23124 on Friday, May 20, 2016 at 4:30 P.M.
