Jeffrey Roberts Obituary
October 19, 1956 - February 27, 2024
West Richland, Washington - Jeffrey Allen Roberts passed away at home at the end of February at the age of 67. He is survived by his daughters and grandchildren. He also leaves behind his mother, Marian Roberts, his siblings, Betty and Jim, and a whole community of family and friends. The family sadly lost patriarch Lester Roberts in 2022.
While he was definitely an old-fashioned guy, Jeff always continued to learn new things, including how to make cat videos for his daughters that featured his two recently adopted kittens. His kitties were the light of his life in his final days, and he was looking forward to raising them-he loved pets, including all his grand–fur babies. Jeff also planned on walking his youngest daughter down the aisle this year, which would have included his first international flight.
Jeff had a full career spanning over 40 years at Sandvik Special Metals, and he was proud of his work and dedication. Anyone who knew him knew of his love for golf, both swinging the club and watching the sport, as well as visiting famous and beautiful courses. Jeff was a Mariners fan through all their ups and downs, and he cherished family trips to the Oregon Coast when his girlies were young. Those happy memories of "D" are precious to his family, and he will be missed so much. His ashes will be spread according to his wishes.

Jeff and I worked together at Sandvik Special Metals for many years. We played golf in many places in Washington and Oregon. We went to many State basketball games. We were friends for over 48 years. I miss him very much, and think of him often. Jeff and his Dad and I went crabbing in Oregon, and to many ball games. RIP my best friend.

This hurts bad. I moved away in 88 and was looking forward to reconnecting with Jeff. We went pretty much ALL the way back (Jason Lee, Chief Jo, the former Columbia High) and he was always good vibes all the way, cruisin' in that VW with the tape deck blastin'. We had Auto Shop with JI Nash in 10th grade and some of the older kids like maybe Jim Jahnke or Dave Luzzo used to call him "Baby Lester". (I know why but I shan't elaborate here.) He was an outstanding person.

CBC, Heidi house, Seattle, sneaking beer in the suit case, playing pool and telling each other we wouldn´t lose contact with each other and did. You skipping school cause the wife´s temperature is up. Tool crib music. Holding the ring.

Oh, I wish it was not so. But, there is also great thankfulness for having known Jeff through his parents, my neighbors--Lester and Marian. His ever demonstrable TIGHT bond with them revealed so much about his personal goodness. What a privilege it was for me!!!....Thank you Jeff and his family.

In our younger years I met Jeff and his beloved orange Volkswagen Beetle. It was always spotless. In our single years Jeff and I shared an apartment at Clearwater Square in Kennewick. He was my best friend and partner on the golf course. We loved to play the back nine together at Sham-Na-Pum and always had a bit of competitiveness with each other. He was a great brother in law and was always the light of the family gatherings with his wit. I can still hear him laugh. Although we lost touch later in years I still think on Jeff with love and fond memories. Rest in peace brother......
