Brent Roberts

December 3, 1938 – August 2, 2015

Ronald Brent Roberts was born in the city of Teton, Idaho to Marion Davis Roberts and Earl Roberts. He was the firstborn and later became a big brother to Barry D. Roberts.

Brent attended elementary school in Teton and Jr. High and High School in St. Anthony at South Fremont. During High School, Brent signed up for the military reserves and served honorably for 7 years. After graduation from high school, Brent attended Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho where he studied Civil Engineering.

Brent worked for the United States Forest Service as an assistant civil engineer, surveyor and fire fighter retiring from the service after 35 years. Brent was also a partner with his brother Barry in Roberts Trucking and later with Custom Seed Cleaning.

Brent loved snowmobiling, and supporting his nephew, Allen, in snowmobile racing for many years, playing the role of assistant mechanic and financier.

Fishing and Hunting were life long passions. Brent and his brother, Barry, made many deep sea fishing trips along the North Western Coast of the United States and Canada in a large cabin cruiser boat that they built themselves.

Brent was also known to be an expert marksman and was usually the first one to bag his limit during the annual "Sage Hen 500" hunt each year. The annual hunting trips were something that he looked forward to each year because they always brought together family and friends.

Brent passed away August 2, 2015 in Idaho Falls after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

He is survived by his 98 year old mother, Marion D. Roberts of Teton, nephew, Allen K. (Gina) Roberts of Idaho Falls, ID, and niece, Robin L. Erhardt of Salt Lake City, UT.

Brent is also survived by his many grand nieces and nephews: Alexandra "Ali" Roberts of Idaho Falls, ID, Dustin (Ane) Peterson of Fort Campbell, KY, Josh (April) Peterson of Pocatello, ID, Kelli Ann Erhardt and Robert "Robby" J. Erhardt both of Salt Lake City, UT.
Great Nieces and Nephews Brynn Christine Peterson, Sophie Noel Peterson, Michael Clark Peterson and Audrey Lynn Peterson.

Brent was preceded in death by his father, Earl Roberts, Grandparents, Albert and Louise Davis, Tom and Eleanore Roberts, brother Barry D. Roberts, Sister-in-law Joann Nelson Roberts and nephew-in-law, Robert Erhardt.

The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude and thanks to the many doctors, nurses, caregivers, neighbors and friends that Brent and his Mother Marion have had to help them through this difficult time.
