Rick Roberson
On August 20th our Blessed Lord sent his holy angels to escort Richard "Rick" Roberson of Hixson, TN home to be with the Lord. He passed away at his home. He was 85 years of age.
Rick was preceded in death by his parents, Lester and Mamie Roberson, several siblings, wife, Louise "Maw" Roberson, and son, Randy Roberson.
He is survived by his brother, Robert Roberson; sister, Venita Tillman; daughter, Debbie Johnson (James) of Soddy Daisy, TN; grandchildren, Bobby Roberson (Rhonda) of Soddy Daisy, TN, Jeff Roberson (Kim) of Chattanooga, TN,, Tracy Roberson of Chattanooga, TN, and Saderia Johnson of Soddy Daisy, TN, and several great-grandchildren.
Rick had a great personality which affected many of those who knew and loved him. He had many friends all over our community and region and had compassion and concern for those he knew and loved. I knew that as his son-in-law he loved me and we were close, but he always introduced me as his daughter's husband.
He was an avid Alabama fan, which proves beyond a shadow of doubt that he was a man of great wisdom.
There are no arrangements at this time. A graveside service will be held at a future date.
We want to express our gratitude to his great friend and adopted son Sammy who loved and cared for Rick for over 40 years. There is no son who could have loved and treated him better.
