"Jimmy" James

Robles

Jimmy passed away on Sunday February 27th at the Mass General Hospital in Boston after a lengthy illness.  Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY he was a beloved son of the late Vincent Robles and Aurea Lopez Robles.  He was 69 years of age.

He settled with his family in the Boston area thirty years ago and has been living in Chelsea for the past two years.

Jimmy was a person of profound spiritual beliefs and was never at a loss to profess the grandeur of our supreme being.  He was forever grateful of the forgiveness and love bestowed upon him by God, time, and time again.  After a long life of struggling with addiction, Jimmy praised our Lord Jesus for bringing him to the right path and used this enlightenment to mentor young people grappling with addiction.

His warm and good-hearted nature endeared him to many people.  As a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, he was known to visit veterans in the hospital, and it was not uncommon for him to assist disabled or infirm veterans.  His spirit to uplift everyone with a joke or two was "so Jimmy".  Jimmy believed as he was saved it was his mission to serve those in need.  He will be forever missed!

Jimmy is survived by his beloved companion of 20 years Ana Arroyo.  He was the devoted father of James Robles, Jr. and Eric Robles, and stepfather to Yadira Montalvo.  Dear brother of Dadin Robles, Miriam Medina, Edna Robles, and Eddie Robles.  He is also survived by his seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

ARRANGEMENTS:  Family and friends are invited to attend visiting hours at the Welsh Funeral Home, 718 Broadway, Chelsea on Saturday March 5th from 10:00 AM to 12 Noon.  Services will conclude at that time.
