Steve Robinson Memorial Fund

It's tough to write a good memorial for Steve Robinson. All of the cliches and superlatives that people use for lost loved ones tend to be drawn from the same tired drawer. People say things like "Uncle Boris always lit up the room", or "David made everyone feel like they mattered". These sorts of sayings are tossed around like confetti at a wedding, and are usually only some pale version of what the person in question was actually like. Not so with Steve. 

Steve DID light up the room. Steve DID make you feel like you were in on the joke, or like you mattered to him. Steve made everyone feel good, and always had a smile on his face. He lived up to all of the nicest things that anyone can say about a person, and not just sometimes, but in my experience every single time I was with him. To say such things about Steve is not disingenuous, it's all true. He was one of the best, most wonderful people we've ever met in our lives and we are so incredibly grateful to call him our friend. 

Looking at everyone's reaction to the awful news of his passing, we get the sense that Steve had a similar relationship with everyone that was close to him. Inside jokes, absurd moments shared only between the two of you, a feeling like you had a real friend, whether you'd met him a decade ago or 10 minutes earlier. He was the genuine article. 

The stories about him are legendary, and we'll let somebody else tell those. But one common thread is his generosity. He paid for people's plane tickets when they got screwed, he bought people gifts when they were depressed, he'd cook for people that never even said they were hungry. He was giving, and generous, and always a friend. It's easy to deify someone you love that's gone, but with Steve, I don't think you can really say enough. He really was that amazing of a person.

For us personally, he was one of the coolest, most down to earth, fun people we've ever known. We will regret for the rest of our lives every single time we had the opportunity to see him and, for whatever reason, did not. Losing him is an awful reminder to love the people in your life, and never take a moment with them for granted. If you love spending time with somebody you care about, don't forget to tell them once in a while. He never did. 


Rest in peace Steve, We love you buddy!

Thank you Sean for helping us put together words when there are no words to describe such an incredible, beautiful, talented, and generous human being! 


The funds will be helping with a memorial party (in LA and servies where ever else the family would like to have one, NY perhaps). As well as travel and life expenses for his family who come in tonight. Steve was an amazing son who took care of his incredible mama, all funds surpassing memorial expenses will be given to his  mother, to ease the pain as much as money can. 

Thank you so much for your contribution, and for your love and friendship to one of our favorite people!! 

Steve had a million nicknames, and a million friends. Nicknames are a sign of love, as some of his closest friends, we didn't even know all of his nicknames, so please share with us what yours was for him, and feel free to share a story too!! 

with love and incredible saddness,

Tristan and Jessica
