DENVER — Governor Jared Polis and Lt. Governor Dianne Primavera released the following statement on the passing of Denver community leader Tom Robinson. 

“We join the Denver and Colorado high school sports communities today in mourning the loss of Tom Robinson. Tom was not only the second Black administrator in the history of the Colorado High School Activities Association, but he was also an exceptionally talented athlete, teacher, coach, husband, father and grandfather. Through his own skill and dedicated mentorship, Tom inspired and supported generations of Colorado students and athletes. We will remember Tom as a wonderful leader and friend, and send our thoughts to his loved ones, especially his wife, Cleo Parker Robinson, and son, Malik Robinson.”
