 Robert Medina (December 30, 1964 - April 9, 2019) was born in Los Angeles and moved to South Pasadena at the age of one year. He attended South Pasadena High School, participating in playing football and as a South Pas Yell-Leader. He also studied drama in high school and became an avid actor himself, participating (staring) in many plays.
After high school, Robert attended Saddleback College, Pasadena City College, and University of Southern California. He continued his education in Administration of Justice, Short Fiction Writing at Long Beach City College. He became an extraordinary writer. His dramatic flair for satirical writings was beyond engaging. They were mostly based on familial experiences making them highly humorous with family members, yet extremely entertaining to others. He also dabbled in cartoon drawings, which were equally remarkable.
Robert moved to the city of Long Beach later in life. There he found a community that became his family, in addition to actual family living in the vicinity. Robert breathed his last breath in Long Beach on April 9, 2019.
Robert was greatly loved by friends and family. He is preceded in death by parents, Robert M Medina Sr, and Trinidad Medina. He is survived by his two sisters, Denise Medina Tutwiler '72 and Michelle Medina '77; nieces and nephew Andrea, Marla, Jason and wife Sarah, great-nephews Gabriel and Elijah, and great-niece Elara.

I remember Robert from drama class -- especially his full-hearted potrayals of the title role in Charley's Aunt, and as Mr. Groves (in superhero costume complete with blue tights) for the whodunnit impersonating prominent high school teachers. Thank you for sharing and condolences to his family. -- Marcie
