Arthur Roberts Obituary

JIM ROBERTS Arthur James "Jim" Roberts was born in San Mateo, CA on December 19, 1936 and passed away on December 12, 2021 in Chico, after a long battle with Alzheimer's Disease. He was raised by his parents, May and Arthur Roberts, on the Bay Area Peninsula and enjoyed all sports, but especially golf, which became his lifetime passion. After high school graduation Jim joined the Coast Guard and was always proud to tell about his experiences on Iwo Jima many years after WWII. In 1962 Jim received his BA from Cal State University Fresno, and immediately was accepted into the Masters Program there. After completing his Masters degree he continued his studies in the Doctorate program at Oregon State University where he received his EdD in Child Development in 1970. In September of that year, Jim was offered a position on the faculty of Cal State University Chico, where he taught Child Development for 15 years. He went on to become the Associate Dean of Continuing Education, and enjoyed that position until his retirement in 1998. Once in retirement Jim enjoyed life with his wife Judy by traveling, attending the theater and time with his grandchildren. He remained an avid golfer playing many of the great courses around the world with his son Jeff. Jim is survived by his wife Judy, son Jeff Roberts (Katie), daughter Jana Peck Stoiber, and grandchildren Trevor Peck and Olivia Stoiber. The family plans to hold a private memorial service at a future date. Memorial contributions in his name may be made to the Alzheimer's Association. Arrangements are under the direction of Brusie Funeral Home.
