A Life Remembered

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Mike Roberts. Mike was born and lived in southern California for most of his life. He moved to Manhattan in 1992 to be closer to family.

He was a Lifetime Lions club member. He worked at Fort Riley thru Envision Industries for the Blind until he retired. Mike was an avid sports fan and enjoyed listening to all types of sports, mainly car racing and football. He treasured the independence and companionship that his guide dog Deliah gave to him and the friends he made living at Meadowlark.

He is survived by his sister, Melinda Weaver, and family.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Leader Dogs for the Blind, in care of Yorgensen-Meloan-Londeen Funeral Home, 1616 Poyntz Ave, Manhattan, Kansas 66502
