Robert Kronsberg
Robert Kronsberg, 35, of James Island, died on December 6, 2017, at Broad River Correctional Institution in Columbia, South Carolina, where he was held in state prison custody. His family described him as a troubled man struggling with substance abuse, and his obituary said the funeral would be private and suggested memorial donations to the Lowcountry Food Bank.
