Robert Lee Burton Jr. was born to Robert Burton Sr. and Leslie R. Perry on April 5, 1981, in San Diego, California. He attended Fulton Elementary and graduated from Morse High school in 1999.
Robert’s grandparents played a major role in his early upbringing. His grandmother would take him to prayer, and his grandfather would take him on his many visits to see Pastor Harvey W. Jessie.
Robert gave his life to the Lord at a young age and continued to walk with Jesus. He received his spiritual training at Greater Israelite COGIC. Robert loved playing the drums, and when there wasn’t a spot for him to play at his local church, he took his skills and played for whoever needed him. Robert was a member of the Mount Olive COGIC. Robert was called to the ministry in 2015 and loved wearing his clergy collar.
