James "Jimbo" David Robbins, III, 39, of Blythewood, died Friday, May 8, 2020. Born in Florence, SC, on March 14, 1981, he was a son of James David Robbins, Jr. and Genie Wright Frierson.

At age 3, Jim moved to Blythewood with his family where he was raised and educated at Bethel Hanberry Elementary, Summit Parkway Middle and later Ridgeview High School. He spent most of his adult life living in Northeast Columbia, and was known as "The Fun Guy". Jim's big crowning moment was attending Morris Village where he overcame his years of addiction. There was a lot of hard work and determination, but his new life started in August of 2018, when he became clean and healthy. Jim was extremely proud of his accomplishments and he began to love everyone even more than he already did.

In addition to his parents, Jim is survived by his son, James Michael Watson; step-father, Donald T. Frierson; brother, Kevin Dane Robbins; maternal grandmother, Genie Wright; paternal grandmother, Florence Robbins Clark.
