Travis Roberson Obituary

Travis Eugene Roberson

February 16, 1988

January 18, 2015

As we celebrate the life of Travis Eugene Roberson, born to Paul & Kimberley Roberson, in Las Vegas Nevada.

Travis, a young man with an awarding winning smile, and great love for animals, dogs, turtles and bearded dragons to include the entire reptile family.

Travis was baptized by Mandy Rucker, a close friend of 43 years, in her Church.

His Mom's cousin, Kris Hunt taught him how to chop wood, shovel snow and fish when Travis moved to Lake Tahoe in 1997. Travis loved the woods, rivers, lakes and anything that had to do with adventure. In his mind, he was a NINJA with his Samurai sword ready for battle practicing daily. Travis collected Manga and Anime novels by the hundreds. This passion of Manga was shared by his god-brother Leo Lingle and Jazmine Lingle since the early age of 8 years. Everyone that knew him knew if they wanted to borrow his books had to practically sign over their life. Travis would repeat like 10 times "don't bend the corners".

Due to his sudden death, Travis will be greatly missed by all.

Travis, leaves to cherish his memories: his wife Sofia Hudilina-Roberson; his Parents Paul & Kimberley Roberson; one brother Paul II, Godparents: Roosevelt & Terry Williams; Adopted Sisters: Sherri Steinbrook & Katy Nordyke; his dog Max, bearded dragons: Banzai, Beardie, Banjara & Suki + 19 bearded dragon eggs to be hatched in March; 3 turtles; a host of Aunties, Uncles, Cousins including other relatives and friends.

A Memorial Service will be held at 4:00 PM on Wednesday, January 28, 2015 at Ross, Burke and Knobel Mortuary, 2155 Kietzke Lane, Reno, NV 89502. The family invites you to leave a message in the "Book of Memories" at www.waltonsfuneralhomes.com

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Hey Big Bro...
It´s that god awful time of year again. Jason and I were driving around today in the snow and passed the place where your life ended. I got this sick feeling. I got quiet and kept driving past. This is never going to get easier, or better. It´s just something that we now live with, and I´m upset. I´m upset you´re not here with us, your mom, our girls. God how you loved Kayla from the moment you set eyes on her after she was born. Your memory will live on in our conversations, your stories will always be told and our girls will always know their uncle T-Ro. We miss you more than you´d ever imagine. Jason says he dreams of you often, which means you are visiting often. It makes me happy to know that! Maybe come pop in and say hi to me. I promise I´m not mad about the toilet seat anymore. Love you.

Today is your brothers 40th birthday. Your 35th birthday would be next month. I am still missing you so very much. Every day without you is a challenge to go on. You are missing out on your nephew and niece and all the joys of watching them grow up. I struggle every single day fighting back tears as they unexpectedly flow at the slightest thought of memories of you. On this day we celebrate SP's birthday and wish you were here to join us. LOVE MOM

Happy Birthday T-Ro Roberson!! I can think of so many memories!! You taking off across in the river and up this big hill to see if you can make it to the top..which you did of course..lol. I even have a video of it. This was at mayberry park. When you finally got back you told us someone was yelling at you for being on their property. You thought it was hilarious!! You were always adventurous and outgoing which we all loved about you!! Life is so unfair sometimes!! I remember when I first met you. I just moved to the creek and had no friends. You were the FIRST person to befriend me!! You made me feel better about my recent move and for that you have always been a special person to me!! I WILL see you again!! RIP T-RO!!! WE ALL LOVE AND MISS YOU!! ❤

My memory of Travis "T-Rex" Roberson is that young 5 or 6 year old kid with all his dinosaurs, and he knew the names of each one. Always trying to follow behind his Big brother SP! He had the biggest heart and Absolutely Loved his Mom! It only stood to reason that he would be into Bearded Dragons! Rest in Heaven Travis and know that you are Missed,

Happy 29th birthday baby. So many have joined you in Heaven since you left us. I find it so difficult to get out of bed everyday knowing you're not here to need me. I miss cooking for you, I miss the stupid pranks you would play on me, I miss you ......I'm so angry you're gone....please forgive me for not being here that night, perhaps things would be different had I chosen to not go back on the road for work. I'll never know. I pray you're with all our loved ones in Heaven...
HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY BABY

Well, my eyes are already welling up and I have barely said anything.... 29 would of been your number, idk if you would of liked it or not, you always lived fast and maybe 29 was too old, even 28. Jason is having a hard time today, as a lot of other's are too I'm sure. I don't even know what to say, nothing seems right. I think i'll leave it at this. Love you bro, and happy birthday.

Happy Birthday Travis.!!! I was just thinkin about my 21st birthday that you were apart of. Hanging out at the house having a few drinks and then adventuring to the lake. I know Max had a lot of fun. That day was awesome. I'll never forget it. I also remember when your car axle broke down the street from my house. Haha. 10 miles and hour and clunk. Axle broke and tire off the axle. And I mean the entire tire, rim and everything. Hahaha. The look on your face was priceless. Well I hope you have an amazing birthday. Were all thinking of you. xoxoxo

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY BABY!!

I know you're still with us in spirit. EVEN the small children of the neighbor hood will never forgey you. GAVIN and friends wrote T-Ro in huge rocks by where they play. I was hoping to see you on February 2nd, the day of surgery on my neck. They told me I cried on the recovery room cause I didn't make it to see you.
Just yesterday HARLOW brought me a Valentine's Day card and candy and before she handed it to me she asked me in the most sincere saddest look on her sweet little 4yr old face,, "KIMMIE, why wasn't Travis wearing a seatbelt".. The tears and loss are within all of us.. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY SON...

Remembering all the funtimes you, Maddi, Lilli, I and everyone else had together and there were many of them.. I hadn't talked to you probably since I think junior year but I still remember meeting you at the bus stop my first day at Pine. You were the first person I had ever talked to in Reno. Thank you for that and being so nice to me. We were so young! I hope your partying up in heaven! RIP Travis!

Hey Travis,
Last night we got some Mccormick and drank it straight out of the bottle, just like you used to do. We made cheers to you every time. It's hard to believe 5 months ago you left us, guess there are some things we just can't wrap our heads around. You are in our home everyday, our lives everyday, whenever we travel, you are with us. We cherish your memory and keep it burning bright all the time. Love you big bro! Watch over your Mama as she travels the country. Love you.

Travis,
I cant begin to put into words how much I miss you. I think about you constantly and I catch myself almost crying until I realize all the happy and fun memories we have with one another. All the sleepovers, all the board games... All the food lol. I can't but help smile. I am blessed to have had the time with you that I did and I know that I'm being selfish for wanting more, but that's how sisters are. We are selfish people who want nothing but the best for their little siblings, something I wish I could still want for you. I miss your laughter, I miss you smile. I took a lot for granted while you were still here with us that I continue to kick myself for. I love you baby brother, I miss you. Until we meet again, watch over us. Love you.

I remember the time that we were so set on going to Tahoe to catch crawdads, we went to your house, got a cooler, the net and hot dogs. When we finally reached Tahoe traffic was so backed up we couldnt find anywhere to park. Once we finally found a place to park we walked over the the water to find that the water was soooo low the whole dock was dry. The spot you were gonna show me where you caught crawdads at was empty. You were so sad. Haha. Sitting there for like 15 minutes debating on what to do we finally headed back to Reno. I think thats the day we met up with Ashley and her man and you rode their go cart. Of course i was afraid to break the thing so i didnt drive it. Haha. I miss ya T-Ro. Tell Biggie and Tupac i said hiii.!(:

I remember the day that we called you in the morning and asked if you wanted to go to Tahoe city to go down the river in June. It was me Steven Cierra and all my family.. The water was Ice cold and you went in like a champ. At the end of the day it was funny you mom seen are post and she did not even know you was gone. The big thing I remember about that trip was I remember you mom talking to me a few days ago about your talon and that you need to stop hit things with it.. We was having lunch after the river and you came and asked me what should you do cause you hit someone on the freeway.. the day before and the person was calling.. we talked for a hour about what you should.. My answer was you better tell you mother.. Cause if she finds out I know about this and never told her she would kill me. This what brothers would do to protect each other from parents. it was funny you must of told mom that day cause I got a text about it that night.. Sorry mom that I did not tell you then but he had to do it..Big brother did not want to get lil brother in trouble.. That was one of the best days we all had with you.. It will never be the same to go to the river again.. But you are always thought of.. Miss you and Love you so much.. One day we will be around each other again.. Love Ya

March 3, 2015

Miss you brother! Hard to believe you are actually gone. Everytime we are outside of 1up I keep thinking I'm going to see you fly outside and give me a huge hug and then bounce off. You reminded me of Tigger from Winnie The Pooh. Lol always springing and bouncing. Love ya! Miss you forever. Reno cries everyday you continue to be gone. R.I.P big bro.

February 22, 2015

Good morning Son,
Not a minute goes by I don't miss you. Your goofy laugh, your tight hugs, your singing my old school songs and actually knowing all the words. Max knows when your visiting. You make him act so crazy. Funny how I even miss your obnoxious behavior that always made me give in. I just wish we could at least video chat like we did from Parr. You are loved and missed by so many Son, but no one misses you more than me. Mom
