Reverend Herbert “Goat” Louis Roberson, of Waelder, Texas, passed away on November 1, 2025. He was born in Rosanky, Texas, and was the sixth child and third son among twelve siblings.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Rosie B. and J.T. Roberson; his siblings, Rose, Juliette, Roy, J.T., and Darryl; and his son, Quincy Proctor.

Goat is survived by his daughter, Victoria Roberson; six beloved grandchildren—Jaden, Isaiah, Noah, Vi’yana, Kallie, and Sidney; and his siblings Ann, Middie, Tina, Margie, Hans, and Jared.

Herbert lived a full and meaningful life, leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, and service that will continue to inspire all who knew him.
