Your husband, father, grandfather was loved by many near and far.
That infectious smile and warm heart he apparently carried with him from Rockford Alabama to Ohio. As a teenager he shared many meals as well as the chores with my family. Many memories of him as manger of my brother's baseball team. Recently enjoyed sharing "The Word" with him. The Father's comfort is my continuous prayer for you.

Pastor Robinson was an awesome man of God who loved to preach, teach and share the Word of God. He loved to worship and sing to God true praise ... I can only imagine hearing him sing before the Father a "C" note in perfection... and the Father saying "Well done my good and faithful servant"... May God's holy presence continually shine upon his family ... Acts of Faith Praise Ministry

I had the pleasure with working with both Nate and his lovely wife Yvonne for many years. He was truly a man of God and it showed in his life. We had great conversations about the Lord. Nate always had a smile on his face. To the family, treasure all the wonderful memories.

Nate was my supervisor and good friend but was also family to me. I'm forever thankful to Nate because he was responsible for me meeting my father and that whole side of my family. If he had not contacted my family, I never would've met my father because he died 3 yrs after I met him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I know how much he loved all of you. We spoke every January for our birthdays. He went on and on about his wonderful grandkids. We had many good times in Zanesville. He will be very missed but forever remembered.

Nate was always a wonderful, loving person. He always had a kind word and a big smile... and he loved to dress. I remember when he attended a National Union Women's Conference with his chapter. When he entered the convention center, he was dressed to the nines from top to toe. No one could help but notice him. I was so proud to be associated with him. He will be missed.

So sorry to hear of the loss of my good friend Pastor Robinson. When i first started pastoring in Columbus Ohio, my first building was the old shining light right next to his facility. He became one of the first and only pastors to come and help and mentor and push me to where i am now. I praise God for his life, generosity and true godly friendship. Hell truly be missed!
