In Loving Memory of Michael Chris Robinson
ANDERSON, S.C. — The Anderson County community is mourning the tragic loss of 49-year-old Michael Chris Robinson, who died in a devastating house fire late Friday night.

According to the Anderson County Coroner’s Office, Robinson was inside the home at the time of the fire and tragically did not survive.
