Education Fund - Adrian's children

Donation protected
Due to the sudden and unexpected nature of Adrian passing, his children are left not only without their father but with an unclear path to funding their future educational aspirations.

In lieu of flowers or other memorial gifts, please consider contriuting to this fundraising effort on behalf of his children.

His brother Jonathan will direct 100% of donations towards supporting Adrian's children's educational or professional persuits post high school.


Adrian Scott Roberts was born on May 19, 1975 at Lakenheath Air Force Base in England.

He lived in England for his first 5 years before stays in California, Ohio, and Saudi Arabia eventually settling back in Yellow Springs, Ohio in 1981.

Adrian was active in sports during his youth, playing soccer, baseball and football. He loved to swim and ride his bike enjoying tremendous freedom roaming the village of Yellow Springs.

He attended Yellow Springs High School, Greene County Career Center and developed several meaningful friendships that lasted his lifetime. After graduating from high school he attended Clark State Community College before moving to Cincinnati where he soon began his 19-year career at Formica.
 
Adrian is preceded in death by his father Theodore B. Roberts. He is survived by his mother Ann P. (White) Roberts, his brother Jonathan W. Roberts (Angela), his children Devon Anthony Roberts (14) and Alexis Roxann Roberts (9), his longtime partner Nichole Thompson, his uncle Bill White and his nephews Jonathan Myles Roberts (18) and Justin Theodore Roberts (15).  In addition he leaves many cousins, extended family members and family friends in the US and UK.

He's remembered as hard working, good-natured and always genuine. He was known for his big smile, great sense of humor and infectious laugh.  Adrian was an avid music lover, enthusiastic sports fan and enjoyed time spent with family and friends.  He was also a tremendous storyteller and talented writer.  He could make anyone laugh with comedic recounts of his own adventures.  He was tirelessly devoted to being a good father to Devon and Alexis, loving partner to Nicole and loyal to his closest friends.

Adrian died on April 22, 2017 in Crescent Springs Kentucky at the age of 41.
