Isaiah Robinson is a “strong, strong boy” who doesn't display his emotions easily, according to his grandmother.It was she who broke the news to the 13-year-old that his father Freddy Maybury had been shot dead, just three months after his mother Tiana Robinson died of cancer.“I told him what had happened and he was just like ‘are you serious?',” Andrea Robinson, 60, told The Royal Gazette. “I don't know if he was just stunned or shocked or what. Some children, maybe they would just break down and scream, but I think he's very strong.“I hugged him and I held him really close and he just stood there. I think he was just in disbelief to think that his daddy was gone.”The fatal shooting of Mr Maybury on June 14 last year wasn't the first to touch the Robinson family.In fact, the May, 2009 murder which began the recent spate of 16 gang-related killings was of Tiana's cousin, Kenwandee (Wheels) Robinson.But it was the loss of Mr Maybury, 34, which irreversibly changed the lives of Isaiah and his grandmother, with whom he now lives.“He's lost his world, OK?” said Mrs Robinson. “His momma and daddy. He did a lot of things with his dad. Cricket games, everything.”Last June, the youngster was staying full-time with his father after the death of his mother, who had battled cancer for 12 years and was just 38 when she passed away.Mr Maybury, whose nickname was “Stunna”, was on his way home to his son after a night out when he was gunned down by two men who crept up behind him outside Woody's bar in Sandys.Mrs Robinson, still grieving the death of Tiana, got a call from another of her daughters soon after.“Someone called my daughter or texted her. She just said ‘Momma, Freddy's been shot.' I said ‘what do you mean?' She called his number and it just rang and rang. Someone answered and they shouted something at her and hung up.“Then we got the call that, yes, Freddy was shot and he had died. We all jumped in the car and we went to Somerset to check on Isaiah.”Mrs Robinson said the news was all the more shocking because Mr Maybury wasn't known to her as having any connection to gangs or crime.“All I have heard is that Freddy was in the wrong place at the wrong time,” she said.“All the talk that I heard about Freddy is not negative.“He liked to go out, because he worked hard. I remember when Freddy was just like an apprentice [plumber] and he worked his way right up to have his own business. They just took all that away.”She said of Isaiah. “He's getting along. He's doing good in school. He has his quiet moments and I know he's thinking about his momma and his daddy. But, considering, I think he is doing very good. Sometimes he will talk but, if you go too deep, he's just like ‘OK, that's enough.'”She said her teenage grandson, at least, could take comfort in the years he spent with his father, unlike his much younger half-brother, Keizae Tankard.“He's not going to have the years that Isaiah spent with Freddy,” said Mrs Robinson. “Isaiah did have that time. He had memories but the little boy is still young.”Mrs Robinson, who works at a dry cleaners and whose husband is overseas a lot, is now bringing up Isaiah, with help from her five other children and his godparents.She agreed she's having to act as mother and father to the teen but said: “I was that anyway. He used to be at my house weekends and stuff like that. It's nothing new to me.“I just look at it like this: it's something that Freddy and my daughter would have wanted. I know the Father would want me to step in like that. That's what keeps me going.”She has told her grandson that God will deal with those responsible for his daddy's death and she prays the killers of all the men fatally shot in the last two years will be caught to give families “some type of closure”.“I'm not angry, I just feel that the Father will deal with them,” said Mrs Robinson.“It's just a sad, sad situation, not just with Freddy, but with all of those shootings. With any young person, not just with Isaiah, I hope that they shy away from that and not get involved in stuff like that.“That's why we constantly talk, even to my other grandchildren, we constantly talk to them and tell them that's not the right way. I just want Isaiah to be a good and godly and productive young man. That's what I want.”
