Obituary

Lawrence Percell Robinson, affectionately known as Larry, gained his wings and departed this earth on March 4, 2024, at his home in Manassas, Virginia. He was born on May 4, 1951, in Warrenton, Virginia, to the late Nancy L. Newman and Lawrence P. Robinson.

Larry accepted Christ and was baptized at an early age. His favorite scripture was Psalm 23. He later became a member of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Herndon (MPBC), Virginia, where he enjoyed singing in the Men's Choir and supporting the Music and Arts Ministry by participating in one of the Dancers of Faith's Couples' dances and the Christmas Cantata.

Larry graduated from George C. Marshall High School in Falls Church, Virginia. Following graduation, he held multiple jobs until he was employed by General Medical, a medical supply company. Not only was he employed full-time at General Medical, but he also managed his own company, Larry's Cleaning Service, with the help of his former spouse, Sharon Robinson. After the relocation of General Medical's warehouse, he began a new career with SAAB Aircraft in Sterling, Virginia, where he overcame his fear of flying and had the opportunity to travel to many different states. His last place of employment before retirement was with DataTrac in Chantilly, Virginia.

Larry loved his family and expressed his love at every opportunity. He had a passion for music and was proud to be known as "B-Funk," the #1 Southern Soul and Oldies DJ in the DMV area. He was one of the founders of the LL&B Social Club, where he enjoyed putting together productions where people could come out and have a good time partying to the latest hits. He was a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan, but when they were having a losing season, he would become a Kansas City Chiefs fan for the rest of the season. He was known to be a sharp dresser, whether formal or informal, purchasing the latest suits, shoes, hats, and cologne. He loved getting up early on Saturday mornings to clean the house or to drive around in one of his nice cars while listening to his favorite radio station, WPFW Radio. When he was not working, he enjoyed spending time with his daughters and his grandson "Bubbie." In his later years, he became a member of the James H. Hayes Bull Run Elks Lodge 529 of Vienna, Virginia, where he established a life-changing brotherhood. He also enjoyed kicking back on the couch and binge-watching the I.D. Channel and CNN.

Larry was an outgoing, kind, and caring man who loved meeting new people and engaging in conversations about current events and football. He had such a giving spirit and was always willing to lend a helping hand, whether you were a stranger or someone he knew. He was passionate about his work ethic and was always willing to share knowledge on how to be a successful business owner. He had a smile and a personality so big it would light up a room and a laugh that would leave a lasting impression.

Larry was preceded in death by his mother: Nancy L. Newman, three brothers: Michael Newman, Dwayne Newman, and David Newman. He is survived by his father: Lawrence P. Robinson; three daughters: Kelly Dixon (Mike), Victoria Smith (Myrl, Jr.), and Tiffany Robinson; Goddaughter, Lindsey Newman-Bushrod; two Godsons: DeAnthony, and Tyrell Levenberry; five grandchildren: Jena (Kerry), Kareem, Sade', Jason, and Jamari; three great-grandchildren: Kaiden, Karim, and Reed; four siblings: John Newman, Gayle Dean, Frieda Newman, and Carla Hamn, along with a host of other family members and friends. He leaves to cherish his memory a devoted employee and special friend, Ms. Carolyn Bell, and his former wife, best friend, and the love of his life, Sharon Robinson.
