Allen "Buzzy" Gene Roberts

Allen “Buzzy” Gene Roberts passed away May 04, 2026. He entered the world on July 17, 1951 and was the youngest of 7 children to Tony Jefferson Roberts and Mary Bell Ross Roberts (both deceased).

He is survived by his wife Leslie Roberts of 16 years; his daughters Michelle Roberts and Amanda Roberts Stacy; and granddaughter Jacklynn Eleanor Stacy.

He is survived by his sister Shirley (Jim deceased) Crow and Edward (Bobbie) Roberts.

Departed siblings are Elizabeth (Sidney) Talley, Travis (JoAnne) Roberts, Carolyn (Harold) Bradley, and his twin sister (who passed this past March) Alice “Susie” (Bobby) Armstrong.

Buzzy attended Millington Central High School. He was a hard worker for several Memphis Industrial Corporations: International Harvester, Coors and FedEx. He was quite mechanically inclined— the master of all things broken for his family and friends. He fixed almost anything with a motor—having as many as 100 mowers and chainsaws at any given time— with the occasional tractor or car to fix, especially someone’s Volkswagen. He himself owned several Volkswagens.

Buzzy found time to create fun. He always had a humorous tale which would spring forward his infectious laughter.

He had a huge passion for animals, wild and domesticated— with a genuine love for his dogs, Sasha and Scooby Doo.

A Celebration of Life will be held at West Union Cumberland Presbyterian Church on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at 3:00 PM in the fellowship hall. The church is located at 3099 West Union Road in Millington Tennessee.

Memorials may be sent to West Union Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
