If you are Jarrius Robertson’s fan then you have already heard about his father Jordy and all the contradictions, which are connected with him.
Jordy Robertson was born and raised in Garyville, Louisiana. He was a high school senior when his girlfriend Patricia got pregnant with him and gave birth to their common son, named Jarrius. Jordy’s child was diagnosed with rare liver disease almost immediately after his birth. Despite his young age, Jordy decided to take responsibility for his son’s life. Jordy didn’t even visit the prom at a high school and decided to stay by his son’s bed. After school, he entered Delgado Community College, where he majored in drafting and design. After graduation, he opened the construction company “Robertson Const”.
After Jarrius’s meeting Saints players and building great relationships with them, the Robertson family became famous. Jordy appeared in the center of public attention, too, and he seemed the perfect parent at first. He impressed everyone with his optimism and self-sacrifice in the name of his son. He launched the fund “It Takes Lives To Save Lives” and the non-profit organization “GoFundMe”. The money, which people sacrificed for two organizations was supposed to pay Jarrius’s medical bills. But it turned out, Jordy spent them on his personal needs. He bought household goods for the fund money. Besides, he spent an enormous amount on gambling games. Later he admitted his fault.
Of course, Jarrius was crushed, when he understood, that his father did many wrong things.
In October 2018 Jordy was arrested. He was judged for three felonies – wire fraud, witness threatening, and cocaine distribution. The boy told, that he still loved his dad, although he felt sorry for people, who suffered from Jordy’s actions.
By the way, Jarrius has two younger siblings from the paternal side.

Bio
Jarrius “JJ” Robertson is an American organ-donation advocate and New Orleans Saints superfan. He was diagnosed in infancy with biliary atresia, a condition affecting the bile ducts, and underwent two liver transplants and numerous operations. His enthusiasm during Saints events and a 2017 NBA All-Star celebrity game brought him national attention.
Robertson received the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the 2017 ESPYS and used his platform to encourage organ donation. He has maintained a friendship with members of the Saints organization. A charity created by his father later became the subject of a federal fraud case: Jordy Robertson pleaded guilty and was sentenced in 2021. Federal prosecutors explicitly described Jarrius as a victim and did not implicate him in the wrongdoing. Details of Jarrius’s current relationship and family life remain private.
