James T. Roberts “Jim”, 81 of Miamisburg sadly left us on June 24th 2024 due to a short battle with lung cancer. He passed peacefully at home surrounded by his wife and family. Jim was born September 20th 1942 to Shirley J. Roberts and James S. Roberts. 

He graduated from Germantown High School. Jim married Polly Stanley on March 1st 1965. He welcomed three beautiful daughters who were the most important part of his life (just ask him), Suzanne and her significant other Johnny, Sabrinna and her significant other Christian, and Bobbie Jo and husband Paul J. Rosell; grandchildren Tamara (Brandon) Marinelli, Devon Marinelli, Casey Jankow, and Tyler J. Rosell; great-grandchildren, D’Angela, Hayden, Harper, Haddie, Bennett, and Harlan. 

Jim was a skill full mechanic which was also a hobby he enjoyed very much. He also loved riding his Gold Wing Motorcycle and a good cold Pabst Blue Ribbon (and everything). He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
