IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Tommy Glen
Roberts
January 7, 1945 – October 12, 2024
Tommy Glen Roberts, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away on October 12, 2024. Born on January 7, 1945, in Faulkner, MS, Tommy lived a life filled with love, laughter, and devotion to his family and friends.
Tommy is survived by his wife, Brenda Gale Roberts, children Cyndi Donlin (Chuck) and Glen Roberts (Emily) and his grandchildren, Cameron and Chandler Donlin. He was preceded in death by his parents, Marlin and Leila Roberts, and his brothers, Merritt Roberts and Roland Roberts.
Tommy attended Bartlett Woods Church of Christ and was one of the original members of Raleigh Church of Christ. He was a proud graduate of the Bartlett High School class of 1963 and Memphis State University where he was a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity. He was a lifelong Memphis Tigers fan, supporting football and basketball teams for over 50 years.
The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, memorials be sent to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Tommy, also known as Poppy, will be deeply missed by all who knew him, remembered for his kindness, gentleness and for being a faithful Christian. A celebration of his life will be held October 19th at Forest Hill East, where friends and family are invited to celebrate this remarkable man.
