He leaves to cherish his memory, his beloved spouse Beverly Roberts, his children Diana Roberts, Janet Roberts-Lyons, Kevin Canady, Tamika Felton, and Pamela. His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren, Jentry Roberts, Ashley Daniels, Rakim Roberts, Edtwan Canady, Chantles Roberts, Deyzha, ShaQuaila Felton, and Taliea Mawell.
