Robbie Darren Roberts
January 24, 1968 – June 8, 2025
Robbie Darren Roberts, 57, of Ashland, Kentucky, passed away peacefully at his home on June 8, 2025. Born January 24, 1968, in Ironton, Ohio, Robbie lived a life full of laughter, generosity, and unshakable love for those around him.
Robbie often called himself a “Jack of all trades, master of none,” but those who knew him would say he mastered the art of living fully. Whether on a job site or in a salesroom, he brought energy, humor, and an unmatched work ethic. He had a gift for taking new coworkers under his wing, always ready to share what he knew and build them up with encouragement. If he was selling, he was leading — and you’d often hear him say he could sell a blind woman a car. And honestly, we believe he could have.
A born talker, Robbie never met a stranger. He could hold court in any room, often without seeming to take a breath, and left a lasting impression on everyone he met. But above all, Robbie loved his family and friends fiercely and wholeheartedly.
He is survived by his loving wife, Janelle Roberts; his children Drew Roberts and wife Eleata, Brock Roberts, Amanda Roberts and her two children Makayla Roberts and TaiVon Mestel, and his youngest daughter Ericha Roberts. He is also survived by his siblings Daniel Roberts and Dreama Roberts. He is also remembered by many beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends from near and far.
Robbie was preceded in death by his mother, Lana D. Kuhn, and his father, Charles M. Roberts.
Arrangements are being handled by Lazear Funeral Home in Ashland, Kentucky. In accordance with Robbie’s wishes, he will be cremated, and there will be no formal service at this time.
As a tribute to Robbie, his family and friends would like to encourage you to donate to your local church or non profit organization. Robbie was passionate about volunteering and helping others and made an impact on those he worked with at Hillcrest-Bruce Mission.
Daddy, there are so many people who loved you. Until we see you again.
