Senior Police Officer Roberts, you made such a big difference in this world. Few people can say that. From where you are maybe you can see children that were born because of you. The one thing I tell my kids to do in this life is to make a difference. Somebody must be very proud of you.

Officer Roberts, a police officer, should be remembered not by how he died but by how he lived! A brave man has left to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for your nearly 15 years of commitment to law enforcement, your family, and the Houston Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace, Brother!
