Robert Roberson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by John M. Ireland & Son Funeral Home and Chapel on Apr. 24, 2024.
Robert Allen Roberson of Moore, Oklahoma, passed away from this life on April 23, 2024, at the age of 65. Robert was born in Michigan on August 22, 1958. For nearly 4 decades, Robert worked in public service, accomplishing many great things during his lengthy career.
He is preceded in death by his mother and father, his sister, Juanita "Nita" Roberson, and his son, Austin Roberson.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Li; his son, Dylan Roberson; as well as four brothers, Tom Roberson and his wife Kathleen, Don Roberson and his wife Julie, Michael Roberson, and William "Bill" Roberson, and several nieces and nephews.
Though he had a tough, somewhat intimidating exterior, Robert was a kind person with a tender, loving heart, especially for the people he loved. Full of quiet charisma, he had many friendships but in day-to-day life, enjoyed keeping mostly to himself. While he worked hard, he certainly liked to play hard, too. From the time he was a young man, he was quite skilled athletically. He liked to play baseball and basketball, and he enjoyed watching football, especially when he could cheer for his "home" team, the Michigan Wolverines. Of course, anyone who knew Robert knows just how much he loved a good game of poker, and he often looked forward to adorning his body with new animal-themed tattoos.
Yet, it was family that was most important to Robert. He loved the people in his life fiercely, and deeply. As we reflect on a life well-lived, let us remember Robert Allen Roberson for his zest for life, his dedication to the people he loved, and for all the wonderful things he achieved during his 65 years on this earth. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, and his memory will live forever in our hearts.

From as early as I could remember, I looked up to my Dad. In my eyes, "He was the strongest man in the world! Nothing could hurt him!" With him there to love and protect me and my brother Austin Edward Roberson, we had nothing to fear! There was another side to him when he was with family, a tender and loving side. I remember he would ask us "Have I ever showed you Boys how the cow eats corn?" And before we had a chance to reply he would grab our leg just above our knee where there was thick muscles and he would mimic with his hand a cows mouth chewing on our leg. This was apparently a highly ticklish spot when someone applied the right pressure. My brother and I would laugh and scream trying desperately to wiggle free of his grip. Looking back this is probably one of my fondest memories of my father sharing affection for us. Though he maintained a stern character most of the time, he made many sacrifices so that my brother and I would never go have to go without. He did everything possible to ensure that we were happy and healthy growing up. He always said that "family comes first." I regret not being able to spend more time with him in his final days, but I suspect that he pushed me away both to maintain his dignity and to protect my heart from having to see him suffer as he fought the terminal cancer that was spreading inside of him. I am proud to have had him as a father, and I am thankful for the Love and Memories that we shared, they will live on in my heart and mind forever! I love and miss you so much Dad! R.I.P Dad.

Bob was a great boss and friend whom i respected and enjoyed working for! Lots of great laughs with this man. He taught me to be stern with workers and was a no nonsense person. He was tough on the outside but once you got past that wall he was a very kind caring person.
Prayers for the family!
RIP--Robert Roberson
