Paul Roberts Obituary
This past Saturday on July 29th, 2017, around 2:30 in the morning, we tragically lost our beloved son, brother, and friend, Paul Charles Roberts. He was 20 years old. Paul has always had the biggest heart despite his rough exterior. He always loved the outdoors, quadding, "wheeling" in his jeep, boating, swimming, and also fishing. Paul was a 2015 West Milford High School graduate and he also attended Hohokus School of Technical Sciences specializing in HVAC. He loved spending time with his friends and his family who loved him so dearly. Paul will be sadly missed. Beloved son of Paul E. Roberts and Patricia A. Roberts. Loving brother of Paige Roberts, and fur-brother of Gizelle and Storm. Grandson of Patricia DeBoise and Alma Lentz. Nephew of Susan and Scott Weaver, Cindy and Paul Hewitt, MaryAnn and Dane Zarpentine, Mark and Betty Sue Roberts, Yvette and Robert Katib, Steve and Paula Roberts, and David DeBoise. Cousin of Chelsea, Ken, and Taylor Pires, Lance and Katie Weaver, Jesse and Victoria Hewitt, Rebecca Hewitt, Derek, Julia, and Blake Zarpentine, and Noah and Zachary Katib. Paul was predeceased by both of his grandfathers; Charles E. Roberts, and Joseph D. DeBoise. A viewing will be held for Paul on Thursday, August 3rd at Richards Funeral Home in West Milford, New Jersey 2-8pm. A memorial mass will be held at Our Lady Queen of Peace Church at 11am on Friday, August 4th. A gathering of friends and family to celebrate Paul's life will be held at the West Milford Elks Club 12-4pm following the mass.

Paul was very nice to me in high school. We had some good conversations, and like everyone else who knew Paul I was shocked and very upset to hear this news. He will be greatly missed, I wish I could be there to honor him along with everyone else. Namaste, Paul and Paul's family. He was such a kind soul.
