HAZARD, Ky. — WYMT meteorologist and Harlan County native Brandon Robinson has died, following a nine-year battle with brain cancer.

With an infectious personality and a passion for his work, Robinson quickly became a popular figure in Eastern Kentucky. His public battle with cancer, both personally and on behalf of others through the Grey Matters charity he co-founded with his wife, cemented his status as a favorite son of the mountains.

Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced. Mountain Top News will update this story, once they are released.

Brandon Robinson was 42 years old.
