Roy Daniel Robertson Jr.

Roy Daniel Robertson, Jr., age 53 years, of Slidell, LA, passed away on Sunday, March 14, 2021. He is survived by his wife, Colleen Robertson, and his daughter, Brianna Robertson. Son of Roy Robertson Sr. and Sharon Bouwell Ledet. Roy was loved by all who knew him. Born and raised in Port Sulpher, Louisiana, he was a kind brother to Dock Robertson, Shay Thigpen, and the late Robin Robertson, spending much of his early childhood fishing and being adventurous. Being around Roy was a blessing, and his energy and enthusiasm for life itself was contagious. He met Colleen, his wife, in Belle Chasse at a high school football game, and he proceeded to switch schools just so he could get her number! Roy went on to marry Colleen in 1988, and together, they went on to go to college at the University of New Orleans. Roy was a man of both integrity and honor, and he spread this steadfastness in both his personal and public life. After 10 years of marriage, Roy and Colleen brought their daughter Brianna into the world, and Roy went on to teach his daughter many things, from football, to chess, to fishing. Roy was the master of all trades, and there was never a sport that he did not excel at. There was never a challenge that he was not up to, whether the challenge be at work or in the kitchen. He was a stellar chef, practicing his expertise from pancakes to gumbo. Roy built everything, from coffee tables, to cat towers, to bikes. His daughter never knew him to shy away from someone in need, or to step away in a moment of crisis. He had faith in God, and he lived by example, and he led others through that example. Roy was committed to family, first and foremost, and his selfless love for his family and friends lives on. With his example, the world became a better place, and that legacy lives on in all those he was able to meet, along with all those he was able to impact directly through his LOPA donation. He was in Asset Management at the University of New Orleans.
