I woke up this morning around 10am and was greeted with something I would never expect from a Facebook message, a message that said that a loving good friend of mines, Durand Robinson, was carjacked and murdered early this morning. Durand Robinson is one the founding owners of Traxx Atlanta. When I moved to Atlanta, one of the first person’s from the Traxx family to greet me with opening hands and a smile was Durand! ALWAYS WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE AND A YES ATTITUDE, there are not enough words that could relay what kind of man Durand was. Durand you will truly be missed and never forgotten. This upcoming Pride, Durand would have been celebrating another Birthday. While Durand is not here physically, his spirit will always remain with us and we will do what he would want us to do, CELEBRATE LOVE & LIFE!!! To the Traxx family, I love you and my prayer and thoughts are with you!

Durand will truly be missed. When I came to Atlanta he was the first person that greeted me at Club Miami. He always smiled , gave hugs, and made sure that I was ok. I just saw him less than a month ago. There he was smiling at me when I went to Scores for the first time. Keeping the peace, and making sure that we were all safe. Love you Durand!
Durand you always brought a smile to my face now your loss brings tears to my eyes. We shared the best of times and I will never forget you or David. I love you and my heart goes out to all that grieve this great loss
I can't say that I knew Durand personally or have ever met him, but I know what it is like to lose someone close to you, or someone that you just spoke with only a few short moments ago.
Rest In Paradise Durand, your work here is done and you are called for yet a higher purpose and duty(ies). May His peace be with his friends and family as they weep and seek healing throughout this time.
Peace.
This is very sad news in a time where we are gearing up to celebrate our Black Pride. My prayers to entire Traxx team… Jerry Boles Photography
