Ian Roberts Obituary

Ian David Roberts, age 35 passed away unexpectedly on Monday October 2, 2023. He was born December 9, 1987, in Spokane, Washington to Rhonda and William Roberts. He called Oshkosh and Montana home for most of his life.

Ian was a free soul who lived an eclectic life. He was known for his infectious laugh and kindhearted spirit. He had a huge heart and was swift to share his love. Ian made lifelong friends in nearly any situation and all adored him. His energy and light shined bright in every direction he traveled.

Ian had many pursuits in life but music and art were his passion. He began playing music at an early age, and was inseparable from some sort of instrument the rest of his life. Ian poured himself into his artwork. In the past few years, he held art shows and was proud to make his living with his paintings. His talent and creativity was beyond measure.

Ian's spirit will live on through his paintings, music, friendships, and the love he shared throughout his life. We will miss you and we will love you forever.

"One must give value to their existence by behaving as if one's very existence were a work of art." -Friedrich Nietzsche

Ian is survived by his parents, Rhonda (Kevin) and William; brothers, Alex (Staci) and Max (Kayla); two nephews Modhi and Maven; special cousin, Rhonda; and best friend, Haiduc. He is further survived by his aunts, uncles, and cousins. Ian was preceded in death by his grandparents, LaVerne and John Cundy, Audrey and Thomas Roberts.

A celebration of life will be held at 3:00 pm on Saturday, October 28, 2023 at Rev's. Donations collected will establish a memorial bench in Ian's name.
