and served for 5 years. Robin has been married to Virlean (Lofton) Kirkland
(The love of his life) for 38 years. He transitioned from his earthly home to
his heavenly home on July 11, 2021.
Robin was preceded in transition by his parents Robin C. Kirkland, Sr.,
Thelma B. Kirkland, and his sister Reverend Equilla Kirkland Sapp.
Robin had a heart so big and never met a stranger. One of
Robin's favorite sayings was, "God first, family second, and work a distant
third." In his younger years, Robin enjoyed playing basketball. After retiring,
he enjoyed fishing, driving his boat and spending time with loved ones.
