Kenneth Eugene "Ken" Roberts, Jr., of Lee County, Georgia passed away on Tuesday, November 4, 2025 at his residence at the age of 51.

Born on October 13, 1974, in St. Louis, Missouri, to the late Kenneth and Mary Roberts. Ken's professional journey was marked by his significant role as a coach at the Turner Job Corps, where he inspired countless young individuals to strive for their best. In addition to his career, Ken proudly served four years in the United States Marine Corps. This experience instilled in him a sense of duty and camaraderie, which he carried with him throughout his life.

Outside of his professional responsibilities, Ken found joy in a variety of hobbies and interests. He had a particular fondness for playing soccer and was an avid fan of NASCAR and wrestling. Ken cherished moments spent at the beach, and frequently visited the shooting range at Chickasawhatchee WMA. Above all, he had a deep affection for his dog, whom he spoiled generously.

Ken is survived by his son, Bryan Roberts of Lee County, GA; the mother of their son, Lisa U. Roberts, also of Lee County, GA; and his sister, Tammy Roberts of Florence, MO.

In accordance with his wishes he will be cremated, and no servies will be held.
