Dr. David Dean Roberts,, DVM DABVP

July 18, 1961 - May 12, 2016

Dr. David D. Roberts passed away on May 12, 2016 with his wife Sharon and family at his side. Dr. Roberts is survived by his loving wife Sharon (nee Brown), father Donald Roberts, sisters Donna Roberts and Diane (Ron) Groezinger and brother Denis Roberts, stepbrothers Mark (Dottie) and John (Darlene) Kluempers, stepsister Barbara VanHorn, sisters-in-law Carole (Ben) Slocum and Susan (John) Raab, father and mother-in-Law Robert and Jerine Brown. He was preceded in death by his mother Betty and stepmother Judy. Dave was an adoring and supportive Uncle, cousin and friend to many who loved him dearly. He was born on July 18, 1961 in St. Louis, Missouri. Dave was a graduate of the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine and earned the Diplomate certification from the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners. Along with Sharon, he was the founder of Manchester West Veterinary Hospital. Beyond his accomplishments as a dedicated and brilliant veterinarian, Dave was a renowned chef, host, drummer, coach, traveler and loyal friend. He was at his best surrounded by good friends and good food and laughter that started in his belly and spread throughout the room. His family and friends will tell you they never met a more generous and caring person. He was the one person that everyone knew would help in the time of need, with no questions asked and no limit to his generosity. He met his bride Sharon while both were just 15 years old and together they made a romance and life that was the envy of every couple to follow. Dave loved life to the hilt, but there was nothing he loved more than his beloved Sharon. He will be greatly missed. Services: Visitation Sunday, May 15, 3-8 p.m. at Buchholz Mortuary West, 2211 Clarkson Road. Funeral Monday 10:30 a.m. at Lord of Life Lutheran Church, 15750 Baxter Road with a short visitation at the church from 9:30-10:30. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation to Crown Ridge Tiger Sanctuary (crownridgetigers.com) where he volunteered and donated.
