Christopher Roberts Obituary

FARMINGTON – Christopher Wescoat Roberts, of Farmington, entered eternal rest on February 21, 2025, at his home at the age of 62. He was born on May 9, 1962, in Bonne Terre, to William Wescoat and Mary (Parker) Roberts.  

Chris is survived by his mother, Mary (Parker) Roberts of Farmington, his siblings, J. Michael Roberts of Farmington and Melissa Roberts Jeffries and her husband, John of Crystal City, his aunt, Norma Roberts Whitehurst, along with several cousins and dear friends. 

Chris was preceded in death by his father, William Wescoat Roberts, his maternal grandparents, Dow and Viola (Counts) Parker and his paternal grandparents, John Miller and Evelyn Marie (Jenkins) Roberts. 

Chris was a member of Memorial United Methodist Church. He was a lifelong baseball player, a talented billiard player and formerly a member of Cuzzin’s Sports Bar Pool League. He enjoyed playing cards, motocross, fishing, and riding motorcycles with his buddies. 

 As we bid farewell to Chris, we celebrate the life of a man who was truly one of a kind. His memory will live on in the hearts of those he loved and in the countless lives he touched with his gentle soul. Though he has left this earthly realm, the essence of who he was—a loving, kind, and generous man—will never be forgotten.
