Thomas Michael "Mike"
Roberts
July 16, 1956 - January 17, 2021
Thomas Michael “Mike” Roberts, age 64, left this world on January 17, 2021. A graveside service will be held Wednesday, January 20, at 1:00 p.m. at Tri-Cities Memorial Gardens, with Brother Adam Richardson officiating.
Mike was preceded in death by his first wife, Wanda; parents, Thomas and Helen Roberts; father-in-law, Billy Holt; and sister-in-law, Shirley Chaney.
Survivors include his loving wife of 23 years, Patsy; daughter, Presley Abernathy (Colt); sister, Ethel Winters; special niece, Lisa Rickard (Troy); mother-in-law, Martha Holt; sister-in-law, Judy Stutts (Steve); brothers-in-law, Jerry Holt (Donna) and Edward Chaney; several nieces and nephews; and a host of friends.
Mike was a member of the Petersville Church of Christ. He loved God and was a great Christian example to everyone who knew him.
He retired from the TimesDaily in 2018 after 43 years of service. He enjoyed golf, fishing, reading and playing with his dog “Josie”, but his first love was spending time with his family.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The family would like to express their appreciation to the staff of the NAMC ICU, and requests that you keep these healthcare providers in your prayers.

Mike was a blessing and his memories will never be forgotten, he had a heart of gold and he loved all his family and friends, he loved our son Chris as his own and Chris always loved him and had been praying for him to heal and was devastated by the news today but stated that God is blessed in getting Mike although it hurts now, our condolences to all his family , we love you all and prayers continue
Patsy, I am so sorry to hear about Mike. My thoughts and prayers are with you through this very difficult time.
Prayers that God will give all the peace that passes all understanding.
You will be greatly missed. Barbara Casteel.
I had the pleasure to know Mike for many years. We went to school together, graduated together and then worked together at the newspaper for more than 40 years. He was a good friend, but more than that, Mike was a good man. I know he loved his family because he was always talking about them. I feel I am a better person because I knew Mike and that he was my friend.
Patsy, Presley and Family—May God’s Richest Blessings be with you in this time of sorrow. I trust that the sadness in the days to come will quickly be replaced by the many fond memories created in years gone by. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
