- Mr. Hugh Wesley Roberts, 79, of Lake Butler, Florida, passed away peacefully early Saturday morning, January 5, 2019, at his residence.
A native and longtime resident of Union County, Florida, Mr. Roberts was the son of the late Charlie Freeman Roberts and Martha Williams Roberts.
A 1957 Graduate of Union County High School, Mr. Roberts went on to graduate with a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Florida and a Master's Degree from Florida State University both in Education. He did, however, remain a faithful Florida Gator fan.
Mr. Roberts married the former Beverly Ann Stanton in 1968 and together they raised their four children. They enjoyed living and working in Tallahassee, West Palm Beach, and Gainesville before ultimately returning to serve in the administration division of the Union County School Board prior to retiring in 2003.
He was an avid numismatist, having bought and sold foreign coins for many years. Mr. Roberts was first and foremost a family man. All he ever wanted to be was a “Papa”; and he was a marvelous one to all eighteen of his much beloved grandchildren. He was an active member of the Lake Butler Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints prior to his ill health.
Mr. Roberts is survived by his wife of almost 51 years, Beverly Stanton Roberts; his children, Pam Roberts Parrish (Milton) of Lake Butler; Tim Roberts (Amy), Fernandina Beach, FL; Karen Poirier of Gainesville and Jennifer Newman (Jeremy) of Lake Butler; a sister, Sandra Wade (Rusty) of Lake Butler two mothers-in-law, Mary Lou Stanton and Lucy May Davis both of Battle Creek, Michigan and all of his eighteen grandchildren.
Funeral services for Mr. Roberts will be conducted at 10:00 A.M., Wednesday, January 9, 2019 in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Lake Butler with Bishop Paul Waters conducting.
Interment will follow in the Oak Grove Cemetery in Union County.
The family will receive friends from 6:00-8:00 Tuesday evening at the church.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made to either Haven Hospice of Lake City or Hugh’s favorite charity, St Jude Children’s Hospital.
