Kenneth Roberts
Oct. 25, 1950 - July 26, 2012
Kenneth Edward Roberts,
61, of Sweet Home died July 26,
2012 in Corvallis due to compli-
cations resulting from progres-
sive liver failure and colitis.
He was surrounded by his
family, friends, and beloved dogs
when he peacefully succumbed
to his illnesses.
He was a tremendously loved
father, brother, friend, teacher,
coach, and mentor whose humor,
charity, integrity, intellect, and
passion for his family and com-
munity will be greatly missed.
Mr. Roberts was born Oct. 25,
1950 in Portland to Carl and Jes-
sie (Collins) Roberts.
A graduate of David Douglas
High School in Portland and the
University of Oregon, he served
his country as a clerk in the U.S.
Air Force:
He had a distinguished 30-
year career teaching middle-
school English, history and social
studies.
He also exercised his lifelong
love for sports through more than
20 years of coaching, primarily
basketball.
He also kept statistics for
the football team, was a sports
reporter for the
local paper,
and served as
public address
announcer for
athletic events,
where he was
well-known for
putting extra
flair into the
proceedings for the home team.
He was also an active mem-
ber of the Sweet Home School
Board.
Regardless of the place, sub-
ject matter, or sport, one thing
was certain: students and athletes
both would receive outstanding
education, coaching, mentorship,
and friendship from someone who
was dedicated to making a differ-
ence in the lives Of his students,
often long after they ceased being
one of his students.
Mr. Roberts was a man of
many interests, including travel-
ing around the country and visit-
ing major league baseball parks
with his longtime friend, Dave
Trask.
He and his family enjoyed
a 30-year tradition of attending
University of Oregon football
games. He also had an elaborate
sports card collection, enjoyed
reading and debating history
and politics, and, late in life, he
was devoted to his three beloved
dogs.
But perhaps most of all, he
was a man of studied faith, very
active in his church and commu-
nity.
He is survived by sons Bran-
don and Adrian; daughter-in-law
Georgia; brothers Don and Gary;
and sisters-in-law Carla and Jeri,
all of Portland.
Memorial services are
planned at 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug.
12, at the Community Chapel
Amphitheater, 42250 Ames
Creek Road.
