David Roberts Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Fry & Prickett Funeral Home - Carthage on Apr. 23, 2025.
David Nelson Roberts, affectionately known as "Bubba", age 70, passed away peacefully at his home on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.
A native of Moore County, David, was the beloved son of the late William Howard Roberts, Jr. and Margaret Jean Davis Roberts. He was also preceded in death by his stepson, Thomas Allan Walters, and his infant sister, Jenny Roberts.
David was a true outdoorsman who found joy in nature-whether riding his tractor, fishing, or hunting. He was also a passionate NASCAR fan, never missing a race and always cheering on his favorite drivers. David will be remembered for his kind heart, deep love for his family, and the simple pleasures that brought him happiness.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 38 years, Linda Fipps Roberts of Cameron; stepdaughter, Christy Scarboro (Tommy) of West End; brother, Robbie Roberts, III (Diane Martin Roberts) of Cameron; three sisters, Barbara Roberts Coe of Cameron, Sandra Roberts Abernathy (Ray) of Catawba County, and Judy Lynn Roberts of Sanford; two grandchildren, Gracie and Jonathan Scarboro; and several beloved nieces and nephews.
A graveside service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at Bethesda Cemetery, 1006 Bethesda Road, Aberdeen, NC 28315, with Pastor Gary Ashley officiating.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to hospice at The Gentiva Foundation, https://www.gentivahs.com/about/donate/

The care of David has been entrusted to Fry and Prickett Funeral Home.
