Ervin Allen Roberts, 85, passed away on Monday, December 22, 2025. He was the son

of the late Frank and Annie Delores Roberts. Ervin was a proud US Air Force Veteran

and retired from Southern Bell Telephone Company. He was also a member of Oak

Grove Missionary Baptist Church. Some of his happiest times were spent sitting on his

front porch with headphones on listening to his favorite music while enjoying a cigar.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Etta Joyce Bradley Roberts, sisters, June, Gail,

Vivian, and Josephine, and brothers, Jerry, Carroll, and Rex Roberts.

Ervin is survived by a sister, Loretta Plemmons, brother, Lynn Roberts, niece Monica

Cody, special great nephew, Logan Ray, several other nieces and nephews, his special

sister-in-law "angels" Lorraine Cody and Shirley Ponder who took care of him during the

past few years alongside his brother-in-law and chauffeur, Teddy Cody. Although Ervin

and Joyce never had children of their own, they were like parents to many including

three exchange students.

A funeral service will be held at 2 PM Sunday, December 28, 2025, at Robbie Capps

Memorial Chapel of Blue Ridge Funeral Service. Reverend Phillip Parker will officiate.

Burial will follow in Oak Grove Baptist Church Cemetery.
