David Sean Robinson-of Boston, on September 25, 2025.

David was born in New York and was a charming young man who dreamed of being a screenwriter after graduating from Middlebury College. In Los Angeles, however, he began to volunteer interfacing with   youth gangs and emergency rooms and veered toward a career in helping people.

He embarked upon becoming a physician and entered Medical School. He graduated in 2014 from the Keck School of Medicine in Southern California. During that time, he and his wife Jennifer had two twin boys, Holden and Asher. They then moved back to Boston to live near both of their families.

Although David and Jen divorced, they both remained devoted parents. David completed his residency at the Harvard South Shore Psychiatric Center in 2018. He became Medical Director at Carney Hospital and practiced at McLean and the Dana Behavioral Health Center. He specialized in addiction treatment.

David was a caring and thoughtful son to his mother Gyda and often included her in all of the events of Asher and Holden including birthdays, holidays, soccer games, movies and dinners. “Grandma Gyda” was often the fourth to their celebrations.

Weekends or overnights with the boys were the center of David’s life. The three of them went sailing on the Charles, traveled to California and Iceland for a wedding, and countless day trips for varied adventures. Since Holden loved the video game Super Smash Bros., David would take him whenever he wanted to play the game. Asher loved racing and was taken to NASCAR events to see the races. He got the boys CALY…the sweetest dog ever and Jen, Holden and Asher continue to love and enjoy him as part of their little family.

David will be missed desperately by all who loved him and by all the patients he helped immeasurably.

A graveside service will be held at Newton Cemetery, 791 Walnut St., Newton (those attending will meet in front of the Cemetery office building) on Monday, October 6, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. Following the interment. Family and friends are invited to Seasons 52 Restaurant, 220 Boylston St., Chestnut Hill
