Michael David Roberts, age 54, passed away suddenly on December 20, 2025.
Michael was born on May 11, 1971, to Judy Roberts. He was lovingly raised by his mother and his grandparents, Barbara and Dub Roberts, who played a central role in shaping the man he became.
Michael had a deep fascination with knowledge and an endless curiosity about the world. He loved learning and expanding his mind, eagerly absorbing facts on any subject that caught his interest. A devoted sports fan, Michael enjoyed watching his favorite teams play, including the New York Giants, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Kings, and the San Francisco 49ers.
He found peace and joy in the mountains, where he could connect with nature and enjoy the quiet beauty of the outdoors.
In 1989, Michael joined the United States Army and served during Operation Desert Storm. During his service, he traveled extensively throughout Europe, gaining meaningful experience and learning several different languages along the way.
After the passing of his mother, Michael moved to Utah in 2020 to be closer to his extended family, a decision that brought him comfort and connection.
Michael met the love of his life, Amanda Neff, and the two were perfectly matched. They shared a deep bond and were married on July 12, 2025. Though their time together was far too short, the two years they shared were filled with love, joy, and beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.
From the day we met Michael, he was considered part of the family. He fit right in; he was always willing to help no matter what was needed. His passing has left a lasting void in our hearts.
Michael is preceded in death by his mother, Judy Roberts, and his grandparents, Barbara and Dub Roberts.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Amanda McDonald Roberts; his daughter, Danielle Dixons; Fallon Roberts, Samuel Roberts, his stepson, Dante Brennan, Conner Brennan, and Caspian Neff. Including numerous family members.
Michael will be remembered for his intelligence, curiosity, love of learning, devotion to family, and the deep love he shared with Amanda. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
