Gary William Roberts

As a fellowe SMU theatre major along with Gary, I was saddened to learn of his loss. He was enthusiastic and charismatic to work with. I'm happy he continued in theatre, and it turned out so well for him.

My condolences go out to his family and many friends. I'm truly sorry.

Donny and Pierre: I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Gary and Sarah, two wonderful people loved by many. They were such an important part of the Memorial High School community many years ago, as was Nancy. I hope you and your Dad are doing as well as possible. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm afraid to open the Banner-Press...what new horror is inside. Gary...what a tremendous legacy...I didn't know all the things...what an incredible life...congratulations. Will miss you and Sarah always...thanks for the many nice things you did for me.

I was in high school drama with Gary and remember him as a very good friend, someone I am deeply saddened to lose.

Gary was a remarkably handsome man, but when I first met him, he was a skinny, wide-eyed kid with a grin.

He got started in acting way back in early childhood. As young boys we played almost every day, and part of that play included Gary taking on roles: “Come On, Men!,” he’d yell, leading us into pretend battle. He loved putting on slapstick shows for the neighborhood, too.

How lucky I was to live across the street from the Roberts family. My friendship core also included Gary’s brother Donny and sister Nancy, but Gary was closest to my age. Gary was always sweet, good-natured, funny, playful, imaginative and trustworthy — everything you want in a friend. We remained friends throughout our lives, and he never changed.

I have so many fond memories of Gary and cherish them all.

As my first friend in life, Gary taught me the beauty and value of friendship, and I will always be grateful.

Sending love to his family. I am so sorry for your loss.

My condolences to the Robert's family. I have know Gary for many years. He was a good man who loved his family. He will be missed by many.

Best Brother ever.

Almost exactly fifty years ago we went from three-part harmony to two. I’ll continue with the same songs solo but they won’t be nearly as good.

Love you, Bro. See you later.

We will miss him. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

love,
Justina and Daniella
