Medical & Funeral Help for Rhett Roberson

Donation protected
Rhett Roberson was a kind and sensitive 13-year-old who touched the lives of everyone around him. He loved animals, spending time outdoors, and was quickly becoming a rising star on his school’s track team. Rhett was very well-liked at school and a favorite of his teachers. He took responsibility for the care of the family pets and helped with the livestock around the family home/property. His warmth and generosity made him a favorite among friends and adults alike.

Tragically, Rhett lost his life as a result of injuries incurred in a 4-wheeler accident while enjoying one of his favorite hobbies. The family is now facing the overwhelming challenge of covering funeral and burial expenses, as well as his medical bills. This heartbreak comes just three months after the sudden loss of Rhett’s mother, Nikki West Roberson, who passed away from a brain hematoma. The emotional and financial toll on the family has been immense, leaving them unprepared for the additional expenses brought on by Rhett’s passing.

Funds raised will be managed by Rhett’s father, Ty, with arrangements handled by his brother, Colby and sister, Hailey. The family is deeply grateful for any support—whether financial or spiritual—during this devastating time. Any contributions beyond what is needed for Rhett’s expenses will go toward the significant medical bills remaining from Nikki’s hospitalization. The Roberson family has always been active in supporting their school and community. Ty and Nikki were dedicated supporters of Randall High’s Track & Field program, and Nikki was well known as the owner of The Pampered Pooch in Canyon for over 20 years. Your support will help this family as they navigate unimaginable loss and begin to heal.
