James Herman Roberts Jr was called away to Heaven during the morning of Christmas eve 2020. He went peacefully in his home where he lived to be eighty-five years of age. He was born in San Antonio in 1935 to James Herman Roberts Sr and Gladys Evelyn Roberts. After graduating school, he honorably served in the US Army, after which he successfully held a long career with the Texas Department of Transportation as an engineer. He enjoyed home projects, fishing, and bowling, which is where he met Lucy Trevino, his best friend, and the love of his lifetime. They were married in 1961 and spent the next 57 years together. He lived his life honestly, earnestly, and honorably for his family and God. He spent many years serving in the Knights of Columbus and was a dedicated member of St Joseph Catholic Church in Bulverde, Texas since 1968. His friends and neighbors all know how much he missed Lucy after her passing in 2018, as he took time every day since to tend the roses he planted where she rests. They are now together forever in Heaven walking side by side in the footsteps of God. He is survived by his brother Gary Roberts, and by his son James Roberts III and their families.
