Vernon Adrian Robinson (a.k.a V and V Adrian), a resident of Stoughton, MA, died suddenly Tuesday, June 30, 2015 at the age of 50. He is the husband of Deidre Elizabeth (Stiver) Robinson. He is the beloved son of the late Christopher and Bettie (Strickland) Robinson.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Vernon graduated from Central High and was awarded a football scholarship to play and attend Howard University in Washington, DC where he excelled in all subjects, in particular Literature, Greek Mythology and English. 'Proper Grammar' was his favorite and an ongoing passion.
For the past 15 years resided in Stoughton, MA and prior lived in Roxbury, MA for 10 years. Vernon was a project manager of healthcare software and enjoyed physical fitness, personal training, sports and music.
Vernon was a success as a man. There are not enough words to describe this beautiful gentle spirit. He was a kind, generous, loyal, caring, thoughtful man who in addition was a great listener and a true friend to everyone, providing guidance and support, always compassionate and never hesitated to give. Absolutely brilliant, filled with all kinds of knowledge of which he loved to learn and share, he was also very silly, funny and at times indulged in tasteless jokes. These are just a few of Vernon's many wonderful qualities we all love and cherish about him. He truly is loved by many and he always returned that love freely. Devoted to humanity his spirit is now free.
Your prayers and well wishes are truly appreciated.
