Glen Roberts

Glen Alan Roberts, age 84, of Grandville, formerly of Gaylord and Detroit, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, March 19, 2024. Glen was a devoted Christian, was very involved in his church, and was a supporter of Christian schools. He loved his family immensely and cherished the time he spent with them. Glen enjoyed reminiscing and was known for his storytelling and sense of humor. He was also an avid Detroit Lions, Red Wings, and Tigers fan and “enjoyed” watching them along with documentaries and old Western movies. As an avid sports fan, the highlight of his year was being the “Commissioner” of his family’s March Madness Bracket. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Debbie Roberts-Austin. Glen is survived by his wife of almost 62 years, Judy (Schewe) Roberts; daughters, Donna (Eric) Woodfin, Kristin (Todd) Arbaugh, and Jennifer (Michael) Hogan; grandchildren, Jordyn (Riley) McCartney, Jessica (Logan) Ernst, Andrew Woodfin, Madison Woodfin, Nathan Arbaugh, Jace Hogan, Braden Arbaugh, Mia Woodfin, and Jett Hogan; great-grandchildren, Blaise and Cassian McCartney; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Bill and Andrea Schewe, Sue and Dave Sheldon; many nieces and nephews; and special cousin, Patrick Rourke.
