Michael Roberto Obituary
January 17, 2023
Michael Anthony Roberto, of Danbury, CT, peacefully passed away unexpectedly on January 17, 2023, at the age of 60. Born in Bridgeport, Connecticut on November 1,1962 to the late Maria Y. Roberto and Joseph M. Roberto.
Michael made friends easily lighting up a room with his high voltage smile and great sense of humor. Michael was a sport enthusiast playing football, tennis and jai alai throughout his youth. Michael enjoyed life to the fullest by spending time with friends, traveling to Grateful Dead shows, and listening to The Doors and The Pretenders.
Michael married longtime friend Lizette Perez in 1989 while living in Bridgeport, CT. They had two children, Joseph, and Jocelyn. Michael and his family moved to Franklin, TN so that he could continue working with UPS. The family thrived in Franklin, where they spent most weekends traveling to Joseph's tennis tournaments, going to the pool, sledding and flying kites. He enjoyed watching thunderstorms with Jocelyn.
After his divorce, Michael returned to his roots in Connecticut in 2015 where he lived with his sister Lisa. Michael will be remembered for his big heart, outrageous laugh, genuine smile, and crazy adventures. He was a protector and warrior. He will be dearly missed and never forgotten. The impact he had on everyone he met was amazing and no one will forget that. Michael is survived by his former wife Lizette Roberto, their children Joseph and Jocelyn Roberto, grandchildren Laken Roberto and Jayden Rizo, his sisters Lisa and Monica Roberto, and aunts, uncles and cousins locally and in El Paso Texas.
We love you. Rest easy.

First I would like to send my deepest condolences to the Roberto family for this loss hits my heart hard.
To my favorite Uncle Mike.. where to begin? You have been and will always be my favorite uncle. The coolest uncle, if it wasn´t for you I honestly don´t know how I would have turned out. Would I still love everything that I love? The doors, Pink Floyd, sublime, food fighters, bob Marley! Would I even know these amazing bands if it weren´t for you? How about the movies that make us Ace Ventura, Independence Day, Cheech and Chong!, Be cool, men in black, I mean How many 10 year old girls actually loved to watch "Wayne´s world" Lol. I owe it all to you. Riding in your car driving down the road listening to the music so loud just to take a drive will always be a memory I will forever cherish You were like a father to me, helping me practice for tennis and soccer, always helping me with my homework , embarrassing me in front of my friends. But my favorite is when you called me your "little angel" just the way you would say it was the same every time and every time and it always put a smile on my face. You saw me as your third child and loved me just as hard. I´m gonna miss you dearly, but I know you´re up there right now hanging out with Jim, Bradley, and Bob having the time of your life sitting around a fire singing jailhouse as lOud as your lungs can go. Just knowing that makes me happy. So now it´s your turn to be my little angel. I love you uncle Mike. Until we met again.
Love
Your Little Angel

To the Roberto family. My Dearest Michael your smile was contagious and your love for your children & Family was genuine. I will always remember your visits to our house in Shelton and having pizza with our children and bike riding. We have beautiful memories of both our families. Our special trip to Tenn. When our kids went swimming in the pool.
Even though life brings on changes. One thing that has always remained the same. That you were loved. May you find peace in Our Savior loving arms. love, The Esteves Family*

Just want to reflect my time with Michael. He was very good to Larissa and I. Taking us in his home when we moved to Tennessee. Helping Larissa with her math homework, taking the kids to the pool or watching J.D. thrive at tennis. We will never forget our great memories of him and we will cherish them always. You will be missed Uncle Mike! May the Lord keep you in His grace forever. Love always,
Ivette and Larissa
