In Loving Memory


William Kraig Roberts
January 31, 1955 ~ July 08, 2009

William Kraig Roberts, 54, died July 8, 2009 in Salt Lake City. Bill was born January 31, 1955 in Twin Falls, Idaho to William Junior and Dawn Kyees Roberts. He served an LDS mission to Oklahoma and later married Deborah Ball on June 10, 1978 in the St. George, Utah Temple. Bill graduated from the University of Utah, College of Pharmacy and worked at Primary Children’s Hospital and Shriners Hospital. He later worked for the University of Utah in Pharmacy Tech Support.
He is survived by parents, loving wife, son: William Ryan (Ashly), daughter: Megan (Nathan) Croft, grandson: Oliver Croft, and his brothers: Chris, John, and Mark. Bill was preceded in death by his sister Dawn.
Bill was multifaceted and dedicated. He could fix anything and lovingly did. Never compromising quality, he offered close attention to detail with every effort. Bill had a keen mind, enjoyed solving puzzles, making home improvements and other complex projects. An avid audiophile, he played the guitar and was in a band in his youth. Bill’s hobbies became his passions, from exotic birds, salt-water fish, jet-skiing, biking, photography, to home theatre and computers. Bill was soft spoken, kind and tender hearted. He was a wonderful father. His favorite place to be was with family and his latest greatest joy was his relationship with his “little buddy” Oliver. He gave his absolute all to everyone within his influence. Bill will be loved, remembered and emulated.

It's so true Jess! One of the neighbors brought over a bean dip and Brita and I both just kind of looked at it like "ummm..." - it didn't feel like we should eat it, ya know?
