Kendall Lee Roberson Sr.

Kendall “Ken” Lee Roberson, Sr., of Old Hickory, TN, passed on Thursday, June 22, 2023. He was born to Virginia Oliver and Romie Lee Roberson in Macon, GA, on December 16, 1953. Ken graduated from Northeast High School of Macon in 1971. Ken’s career was as a manufacturer sales representative for the lighting fixture industry travelling throughout Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, parts of Indiana and North Carolina. He had many interests including collecting antiques, especially musical machines and radios, and loved restoring antiques of many types back to their original beauty. He was also a motorcycle enthusiast, as well as a lover of fast boats and water skiing. Ken loved to make people laugh, and rarely heard a story without responding, “That reminds me of a joke…”

This Christian man was married to Judy Johnson Roberson and father of two sons: Kendall “Kenny” Lee Roberson, Jr. and Joel “Joey” Christopher Roberson (Samantha). Together the sons provided him with three wonderful grandchildren: Annabelle Kasen Roberson, Alexander Christopher Roberson, and Lionel Keith Kuhn-Roberson.

His parents predeceased Ken, but he was survived by his only sibling: Mercer T. Roberson, Sr. (Pat) and his nephew, Mercer Thomas “Tom” Roberson, Jr. (Kim), and niece, Pamela Roberson Phillips (Bryan).

A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, July 1, 2023 – visitation will be from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM and service will be from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Hermitage Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens, 535 Shute Ln, Old Hickory, TN 37138.
