Markham Gregory Robinson passed into Heaven on August 25, 2021, from exposure to dangerous chemicals during his military service near the Korean DMZ. He was 77 years old.As a child Markham realized that we are all sinners in need of a Savior, and he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord.A 1960 Vacaville High School graduate, Markham attended UC Davis and UC Berkeley, obtaining a B.A. in Math in 1965.Entering active duty as a Lieutenant in 1966, he eventually served as Commandant of the Artillery Specialist Academy in Korea. He and Mary met in graduate school and were married within two and a half months. They designed, wrote, tested, maintained, installed, supported, evaluated, sold, taught, and documented software and microcomputer hardware. Contracts took them abroad for extended periods of time.Markham passionately loved his country and the U.S. Constitution. He followed the news and politics from the time he was a pre-teen. He left the Republican party to join the American Independent Party because it fit better with his pro-Constitution, pro-life, limited government convictions and served as AIP Chairman and Chairman of the Executive Committee.Markham loved discussing politics, philosophy, his faith, and the Bible and wrote extensively on many subjects (including Shakespeare). He loved mentoring people, especially young people.He was extremely creative and analytical, and constantly thought "outside of the box."
