Chip Robinson, 63, of Buford, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on November 28, 2019 after a valiant 14-month battle of pancreatic cancer. Chip was born on August 21, 1956 in Sweetwater, Tennessee, to Flora Turpin and Curtis Decatur Robinson. He was a 1974 graduate of Berkmar High School in Lilburn, GA, where he excelled in baseball and played basketball. Chip made a career of selling building materials for new homes. The last 27 years were spent with Magbee Contractors Supply in Winder, GA.

Chip will be remembered as a wonderful son, husband, dad, Pappy and most of all friend. He thrived on his friends and was always the one to get everyone together.
