A song for my best friend and my hero:
I'm gonna miss the days when I would think about seeing you on the weekends, I'm gonna miss the nights when you would call and say "I love you and goodnight." I wish you were again, will this pain ever end?
I will not forget, the memories we shared, I will not forget, the relationship we had, and I will not forget, how to you nothing was impossible, and I just wanted to let you know, I'll always, be daddy's little girl.

Dan, "Skid Row", Bill Eagle, Stoney, Lisa Kay, and the rest of Smoke's extended family. I am without words, and for me that says something. What can I say that hasn't already been said? He was a true friend in every since of the word.
If there was a benefit for a musician hit on hard times he was there. He always made time for any wanna be musicians or singers, he'd let them sit in and no matter how bad they were, and there were some hum dingers, he never said a word, he still treated them with respect and dignity and made sure everyone else did too.
I knew Smoke for over 25 years. Anytime, I mean anytime, I ran across him no matter how busy or how big the place was he always made time to say hello and ask how I was. We use to laugh about the fact that everyone called him "Smoke" and he hated cigarette smoke.
We both loved Elvis, but he did all kinds of music, had great stage presence and could fill a dance floor in a second. Always a smile and a kind word for any admirers.
Like the song says, "If you believe in forever,
Then life is just a one-night stand."
"If there's a rock and roll heaven,
You know they've got a heck of a band."
We'll miss you Smoke, everytime I hear an Elvis song I will think of you. And to all his immediate and extended family, your all in our hearts, thoughts and prayers always.

I met Smoke about 21 years ago,when I and Michael Wilson were married,I will never forget that voice oh my what a sound it was one of the most ledgendary sounds of the late and great Elvis Presley, and I was such a fan of his.And to now hear the closest thing to Elvis was man named Smoke Robertson. Mike and I began our journey with Smoke and Danny T and we were at every place they played I was so proud to be sitting in the crowd listening to Smoke sing and Danny T play the guitar wow what awesome memories.
I was very fortunate to have talked to Smoke a few months back,he had called to ask us to help to raise money for Brian.As I was talking to Smoke I had told him how I have given my life to Christ and was walking with him daily and how much I love being a child of God.And that is when he had told me he and his brother Scott and Danny T had done the same.Praise the Lord there is no life better.I was so blessed to know that all our past was washed away and a new life for all of us had began.I know within my heart that God was also a big fan of Smokes and the way he sang "American Triology" I never met anyone that could sing that song with such passion you would of thought he was singing straight to the heavens.
Although my heart is sad. I know because God says a child of mine will see there loved ones again and in the mean time.I pray for comfort and peace for all of those that loved him too.I was proud to have had Smoke presence in my life and how much I truly loved him and all his family .God bless you all. And one last thing I would love to leave you all with is this. Look to the heavens when you are feeling sad,because the Lord will have the answers just listen,believe and pray,
Always in my heart,
Kathy Juanita Wilson

I met Smoke some 13 or 14 yrs ago when I managed a pawn shop on Watauga Rd. Smoke & Michael were always in looking for some new fangled mixer board or sometimes to just hang out and "test" the guitars. We became good friends, having lunch once a week or so, and Michael mowed the grass around the shop. I knew of his good times, and his bad ones. I learned that he loved his family very much, and was especially proud of his son. As I moved on so did he...we both discovered Jesus and began new lives in new places. He was no longer playing @ the Wagon Wheel, or singing the same old songs.... I lost touch and he moved to the Weatherford area, it took me a LONG time to find him, but I did... When I talked to him he said that he was living for the Lord and doing the right thing...I believe that he was. We never talked again....I have no idea why... I thought of him hundreds of times, but never called, I knew where he was going to church, but never went to see him. Now I have just read that my friend has passed on at the age of 49...why? where? how? a thousand questions cross my mind.... Did he know how much I loved to talk to him about his music? Did he know how much he meant to so many people? I believe that he did. I will miss you, my friend....Godspeed.
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." Ps. 91: 1-2
Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises.
Ps. 98:4

What a great singer, what a great man, we'll miss you forever in this now drab land.
I will never forget all the times I've watched you pour your heart into the songs you used to sing. You will be missed.

I must say I was shocked. Although it had been a few years since I saw Smoke, he always remained a trusted and cherished friend. Lots of good nights out with him and the guys, and lots of laughs, good times and taking care of each other.
I just contacted James (Shine) and he asked me to pass along the same feelings, as well as our prayers and love to the family. God bless you Smoke, we'll always love and remember you.
Your brothers,
DC & Shine

Michael S. Robertson I did not know personally, but I do have the honor of calling his son Michael my friend. The phrase "Life isn't easy," is never thought of when loosing a loved one. We're told to cry at a birth, and be happy at death! Humans as we are, deal with that backwards. Because we are human! The loss of a loved one brings out all the thoughts of the good that loved one has done for each of us. At this great loss of a father, husband, grand father, uncle or great friend you shead not one tear, then what was his life? Yes life isn't easy, but if it were, what memories would we share? My deepest condolences to all who new Michael Stephen Roberson.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
