Town of Mars Hill issued the following announcement on Jan. 31.
It is with heavy heart that I report to the Madison County Schools’ family that this afternoon Dr. David Robinson, principal of Madison High School, passed away suddenly at the age of 54. David was a lifelong Madison Patriot, a strong educator, a musician and artist, and a friend. David’s faith was his foundation, always present, and given expression through his love for his wife Wanda and their kids Ashley, Alex, and Audra. And he was SO PROUD of his grandchildren. I remember one Friday night standing on the sidelines with David this year and he said, “do you want to see something beautiful” and we turned around and his grandchildren were on the front row of the stadium, waving to him. He was right, it was beautiful. There are no words that can adequately describe how shocked and devastated we are by this loss today. The only consolation is knowing that Dr. Robinson did a lot of good with the time that he was given, and although way too short, we are all truly blessed by the time we had with him.
We will have more information on service arrangements as we receive them. Please keep his beautiful family in your prayers.
