David Roberts Obituary
Prior to his distinguished service, David embodied the values of dedication and community through his volunteer work with the Mercerville Fire Department and Nottingham Ambulance Squad. His selflessness and commitment to helping others were the hallmarks of his character.
A devoted family man, David is survived by his loving wife, Kathleen Roberts, and his adored children, Meagan, Kyle, Abby, and Terri. He was a doting grandfather to Mason. He was predeceased by his father Richard E. Roberts Sr and his legacy remains cherished by his mother, Marylin Roberts, his brother, Richard Roberts, and his sisters, Kathryn Kisela and Joyce Mallory.
The family will gather with friends and loved ones to honor David's life at a memorial service on March 9th, 2024, at 3:00 pm at the Mercerville Fire Department. All who knew David are welcome to attend and pay tribute to a life lived with purpose, love, and an enduring spirit of generosity.

I unfortunately did not get to meet Dave until just a couple of years ago when we started working together. From the moment I met Dave, it was as though we had known each other a long time. Dave was such a great storyteller and I enjoyed listening to his stories and hear him laugh.
Dave truly was a genuine person that was always respectful to those around him. I knew when I need assistance or a question answered, I could count on Dave to help me out.
I am going to miss him, and my prayers are with his family. Dave was taken too soon, but I pray we will see each other again. God Bless you Dave.
