Blake Cody Roberts

Blake Cody Roberts, known affectionately as “Old Man” by his son Zander, “Roonie” by his big sister Shantel, and “Hank” by his friends, was born on March 19th, 1978 in Ogden, UT. A devoted husband, father, brother, and son, Blake was a man of adventure, loyalty, and dedication who touched the lives of all who knew him. An adventurous spirit at heart, Blake constantly sought to explore and appreciate the world around him, from the mountain trails of Farr West, Utah, where he resided, to the ocean waves in Seaside, Oregon.

Blake was a reliable and dedicated man who found great joy in serving others. He was a proud Eagle Scout, a member of the Order of the Arrow, and a graduate of Weber High School. His reliably adventurous spirit led him to a career in transportation, where he spent over 25 years as a crane operator and driver at Redd Roofing before joining J&B; Trucking. He loved every minute of it, not only for the thrill of driving but also for the opportunity it provided to explore the world around him. Beyond his professional endeavors, Blake’s love for the outdoors was evident in his hobbies. Whether it was camping, mountain biking, hiking, exploring caves and mines, or taking walks with his beloved wife Jessica, Blake’s adventurous spirit was always on full display.

Blake’s dedication to his family was unparalleled. His wife Jessica and their sons, Dagen and Zander, always came first. He was a man of unwavering loyalty, always willing to go the extra mile to ensure his family’s happiness. Despite not being a fan of fishing, he would regularly plan trips for his boys simply because they loved it. His adventurous spirit, loving heart, and undying loyalty made him a beacon of strength and love to his family and friends. Blake is survived by his wife Jessica; sons Dagen and Zander; father, Bruce Roberts; siblings Shantel (Glen Urry), Bart, Jared, Luke (Brenda), Ren (Roxy) Roberts; father-in-law; Roger Witbeck; in-laws Nicole Witbeck, Zachary Witbeck, Erika (Brody) Neisweinder, Landon (Kelby) Witbeck, Jordan Witbeck, and Jacob (Autumn) Witbeck. He was preceded in death by his mother, Beverly Roberts; grandmother LaRaine Linford; step-mother, Katie Roberts; mother-in-law, Deanna Royer; and grandmothers LouJean Stanger and Carol Austin.
