Do you bring up your affair baby on business calls? Can you stay brave while staring down old ladies? Is the company you do this under named after your dead kid? If you answered "yes" to all these questions then you are Kelvin Hayes Robins Jr.
Our hero's journey truly begins December 2018, when he made the news ( https://abc13.com/scammed-by-contractor-hurricane-harvey-pods-repossessed/4996819/ ) for not only scamming a woman with terminal cancer out of $19,000 but demolishing the elderly woman's home in the process. A modest man, Kelvin caught wind of the story before it aired and tried to stay nameless.
"The contractor has been calling quite a bit. He's been texting my mother, he's been begging her not to air the story, he's been calling her and crying. He's been quite upset, even to the point where he asks her doesn't she care about his newborn baby." - A family member

But how much did Kelvin care for this baby? The child's grateful mother let us know by thanking him on his Facebook:

Their claims are supported by Kelvin's Child Support Delinquent Payor record ( https://archive.ph/NY238#selection-2885.0-2887.9 ). To summarize:
1. Kelvin was married at the time and the baby was the product of an affair
2. Within 4 months of the story, Kelvin walked out on this child and another so he'd
3. Have more money to "take care of hoes"
We can see Kelvin was a loving father, too loving for just one partner, and took fatherhood so seriously that he became one at 13. If this early start isn't enough, he's naming "Jay-Starr" businesses using Jay, his deceased daughter's first name ( https://archive.is/TAloN#selection-1079.9-1079.12 ) and Starr, a second daughter's middle name ( https://archive.is/TAloN#selection-1579.1617-1579.1623 ). Years after her death he was still posting Facebook updates as "Jay-Starr Tree and Outdoor Services" ( https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552056358813 ), his way to remember Jay and to steal.
This started by renaming his newsworthy company to "Jay-Starr Construction" ( https://archive.is/IiPDL ), insuring both daughters shared in his legacy. Jay-Starr then joined "Certified Home Improvements" in disgrace by being fined, an unexpected tragedy. To make the best of a bad situation, Kelvin put his children first by making sure his biggest fine of $25,500 went to Jay-Starr ( https://wwwcfprd.doa.louisiana.gov/boardsandcommissions/MeetingMinutes/475_12%2002%202021%20Meeting%20Minutes%20FINAL.pdf ).
Despite this fine and stop order, Kelvin is still publicly following his newest "Jay-Starr" company on Facebook. In his defense, poor Kelvin may be confused as he gets mixed messages. In October 2020 the LDAF gave Kelvin, with his exclusive 708002 zip code, a new horticulture license ( https://www.ldaf.state.la.us/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/LH-LIST-10302020.pdf ). They had also given him 3 fines and stop orders at this point.
Dialogue would likewise break down between Kelvin and his family. Despite his heroic efforts to keep the family together, trying everything from renaming a newsworthy business after his children to giving them surprise half-siblings, his marriage would not survive all those late nights in the office doing tree work.
Eventually his family found even the extra siblings were not enough and parted ways. Before dying, Jay also changed her last name to "James" ( https://archive.is/TAloN#selection-379.18-379.23 ). This was done because she felt unworthy after watching his efforts, such as skipping work to go to their birthdays. Still, this left Kelvin worrying his child died hating him, and still worrying despite her Father's Day posts. These posts were memorable from the way she always used another man's name and picture by accident.
And such is the bitter end of something beautiful. Let this be a lesson for the fathers: Work hard but have time for your wife, kids, and affair babies.
