Though over a year has passed since Brother Rob has passed and I am just receiving the word, my heart really hurts. I had not seen or heard from Brother Rob since 1995 in Panama, I still have vivid memories of a truly good Brother. To read that he became my Omega Brother also, really touched me. Truly a Brother gone to soon. May God continue to heal and minister to his family.
What a loss. I had the opportunity to serve with and learn from Demont in peacetime and in war. He was a true professional who left us all way too soon. He led through his example, actions and deeds. He made us all better and inspired us to be the best versions of ourselves. He loved being a Soldier as much as he loved leading, coaching and training Soldiers. It has been said that Soldiering is an affair of the heart. That came through loud and clear in all Demont did. He will be missed.
With deepest sympathies. He will be missed.
Our deepest condolences to the family of this brave and courageous warrior. SGM Roberson was a beacon of calm in the storm and always with a smile on his face.
Though there are no words to ease your pain, remember that he is now in heaven, in God’s loving arms where he is now at peace. My prayers and sympathy to you and your family.

We met Demont twice over a two day period in 2021. Individually and collectively, we came to the conclusion that he was genuinely “a cool dude” with well-developed self-awareness. He was jovial, considerate of others, spoke his mind in a way that was honest and yet not hurtful and was the kind of person that you could easily call a friend. We will miss him, but his memory will remain with us.
Sincerest condolences to the family, Marissa our niece, his loved ones and friends.
My sincerest condolences to Brianna on the lost of dad, praying her strength that surpasses all understanding.
SGM (R) Demont Roberson was that rare military leader who let his own actions and personal example – inspire and set the standard for others. Those of us who served with Demont are forever grateful for his leadership and friendship. General George S. Patton once said, “The highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country.” Demont Roberson served his country with great courage and honor. He was a great Soldier, leader, friend, and teammate. My sincerest condolences to his many close friends and family members.
Demont was a real “human being” to the Soldiers in his charge and to everyone who knew him. I was fortunate to serve alongside him at Fort Bragg and in Iraq. He was caring, funny, sharp-minded, and gentle-hearted….the kind of man we all should strive to be. My heart goes out to his many close friends and his family. God speed!
Demont was a very kind man with great sense of humor. He was an exceptional leader in the Army. I had the privilege of serving with him at Fort Bragg and in Iraq and he always took care of his Soldiers and was devoted to his friends and teammates. Prayers for his eternal peace and for the strength of his wonderful family.
Sharon & Family,
Our heart breaks for your loss. Sending you love and strength from Atlanta. Lean on us if you need u.
Sending my heartfelt condolences to the Roberson Family on the loss of your loved one.
SGM (R) Roberson it has been an honor and privilege to serve with you. Your commitment and dedication to Soldiers and the AG Corps was much appreciated. Thank you for your service and being the epitome of professionalism for so many years. Even after you retired, you always returned back to 369 AG BN to show your support during numerous events and ceremonies. Take your much deserved rest my friend and be the angel in heaven for your Family and all of us.
You will be deeply missed but never forgotten,

My deepest condolences goes out to the family. May you rest in heaven until we meet again. AGATW.
You’ve always been a genuine, solid, consistent brother. We had a lot of great laughs. Though we didn’t talk all the time, we made up for it when we did speak or see each other. We always ended our conversation with tears of joy and laughter because we both always had a story to tell in the most hilarious way. I’m glad to have shared those moments with you my brother. Every time you introduced me it was by name and then with the saying of, “Tre the baddest man with an razor.” I appreciate you my brother. My condolences and prayers are with your family and loved ones as they get through life without you here in the physical form.
Sending my condolences and prayers to your family, friends, and coworkers.
Romans 14:8, For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. May your memory be a blessing to us all. Sleep well my brother.
Until we meet again,

To my family: Know this….I am smiling through my tears today because Demont and I shared so much. We shared a large, loving family in Michigan and the same birthday! It won’t be the same without him in my life, but I know that on October 6th, he will be smiling down at me. God speed nephew. I thank God for your life. PEACE BE STILL UNTIL WE CELEBRATE TOGETHER IN HEAVEN!
Sending love, hugs, and prayers to cousin Sharon “Ree” and the entire family. I hadn’t seen Demont in years, but reading all the memories assures me that he was well loved by all who knew him.
My condolences go out to Bro. DeMont Roberson’s family. Although, I have known Bro. Roberson a short amount of time his attention to detail and calmness is what I will remember. I even learned more about cigars by picking his brain when he told me which ones to purchase. Good brother and I am glad we were able to link. RQQ, until we meet again!
My condolence’s to Brianna and your family as you go through this time of bereavement. DeMont touch many people with his contagious smile and humor. I will always remember our time at Fort Campbell. My Brother in Arms gone, but never forgotten.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💐

Sending my deepest condolences for the loss of Demont. I had the pleasure of working with him at SC Vocational Rehabilitation Department. Everyday we could count on Demont, not only to do his job but to keep us laughing while doing it. His compassion and love for others will always be remembered. May God comfort and keep you during this difficult time.
WHEN WE WEAR THE GLOVES
By Brother Dr. Carver A. Portlock
When we wear the gloves
A brother has gone from our midst
And sailed to golden shores.
When we wear the gloves
A friend has passed the final test
And walks through purple doors.
The circle has an empty place
A voice will raise no more
The song of fellowship and love
Uplift forevermore
When we wear the gloves.
When we wear the gloves
A light goes from this earthly life
The visor closed again
Yet all the heavens open wide
To let a new star in.
When we wear the gloves
A brother leaves the chapter roles
And moves to other worlds
For when we say our last goodbye
He walks on streets of pearls.
When we wear the gloves.
R.I.P my Friend
…never want to nor try to.
My cousin was more like a brother and every day my heart aches because I can’t pick up the phone and ride home from work and talk with him. I know in time God will heal my heart. I pray for our entire family for strength, healing and peace. We had some good times rest easy.
My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you and your family. May Gods love give you peace, strength, encouragement and comfort during this time.
Love and will always miss you nephew, may you rest in heaven I love you man

Our condolences to the Roberson family on the loss of Demont. We met and served with Demont back in the mid to late 80s in Germany and met up with him again at Ft. Bragg just before his retirement. He was still the same “Rob” we knew from back then which was refreshing. May God grant comfort and peace to the family. You are in our prayers.
My condolence to the family praying for you
I had the pleasure of working with DeMont for over two years. He genuinely cared about every member of our team & so many others. DeMont always remained cool, calm & collected & had the ability to pass this onto others. His door was always open & he made me smile and laugh with his amazing sense of humor. My thoughts are with his family & friends & I hope they get to see what an impact he had on everyone around him.
My Friend , My Brother
The leadership and brotherhood you brought to GLM 590 Shape Belgium set the foundation of success for many.
I my self will be forever grateful.
My condolences to the family
My words cannot fully express the sorrow I felt after learning about the passing of DeMont. May his family forever treasure the wonderful times each of you had with him. May the love of God our Creator, and support of friends be an anchor to you all. My prayers are with the entire family.

Sergeant Major, you left us way to soon, but you positively touched the lives of hundreds with your leadership, compassion and discipline. My condolences to your family and to all those close to you. Thanks for being a treasured leader during my military career. Army Pride Top.
Our deepest condolences to the Roberson family and friends. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Sergeant Major Roberson you were a professional Soldier in every sense of the word. You were a great battle buddy, friend and mentor to many. The AG Corps and Army are better because you served our Soldiers and this nation. You will be missed by many. Mission complete. Rest easy my friend rest easy. 🙏🏾❤️✌🏾

My condolences to the Roberson Family. We have all been blessed by our shared time and experiences with DeMont. Many of us will carry the memory of his ability to put a smile on anyone’s face in an instant. My prayers are with you all during this time.
Sending prayers of comfort and peace to DeMont’s family, friends and my dear HR colleagues at BCBSSC.
DeMont, you were a great coworker at BCBS and even better person. You were the heart and soul of our team and will be missed by many. I admired your generous self-less attitude, your warm friendly smile and laugh and how you constantly checked in to see how others were doing. Relationship building and teamwork were always more important than the task or “mission” at hand.
Rest easy my friend. May God’s love help heal and comfort during this difficult time. In the midst of sorrow, may we also think back on all the wonderful memories you created.
My condolences to the Roberson Family.
Demont you were always so kind and respectful toward me, whenever you came to Saginaw to see your brother Andreus you always came to see me and bring me up to date on what was happening in your life. I was so very proud of all your accomplishments. I loved how you were such a roll model for your brothers.
My heart is saddened for your loss, I pray that God will comfort your family and friends. Gone but never forgotten.
Love
My beloved supervisor and mentor will always be in my heart. No words can express the emptiness that I feel. Your legacy will be here forever.
I am grateful to the universe I had the opportunity to work with you. I still remember our last conversation on that Wednesday 06/29 as if it was yesterday.
Sending prayers and thoughts to you, your family, friends, and my dear co-workers.
Much love and respect,
VY Tzul
DeMont, you were far too young to leave this earth – there were so many more precious souls for you to mentor and encourage! You will be sorely missed by your BCBS family and everyone who knew you and loved you.
Rest eternally in the arms of Jesus,
Debbie Broadway
Sergeant Major, from the day we met and everyday since you were the epitome of the professional Soldier and NCO, but more importantly you were a better person and friend. Your quiet confidence inspired me. Your family, friends and loved ones will be in my thoughts and prayers.
The world is a sadder place with you not in it. I and those who knew you in this earthly existence were privileged for the experience. Rest easy good Soldier and dear friend.
Very respectfully,
Rob Manning
Friend, Brother, SGM, Demont R. Roberson,
You have been one of the most respected men I have ever been blessed to have know. From the very first moment we met and worked together (2011) at the AG School you were and inspiration to all who came to know you.
When you first shared with me your interest in becoming an Omega Man in Jan of 2012, I was delighted to invite you to attend our annual Hooping for Hopes Basketball Game and introduce you to the Brothers of Chi Iota Iota. Following that day, you would go on to become a Brother respected by everyone you met and serve as our 16th Chapter Basileus. (A Goal to shared with me 9 months after crossing at our 2d Council Meeting in Charlotte, NC December of 2014).
Brother Roberson, while our friendship have been both professional and personal, our mutual respect and bond have be unconditional/unweaving.
To your family, friends and brother, I pray that each of us can find the healing of God’s grace in the moments and memories that we all shared. While we are only here for a short period of time, the most import part are those that we love and what we do for others. You have been a role model for so many of us and your legacy will be with all of us forever.
My prayers and thoughts remain with your family. May they continue to find healing in God’s word and you find rest in his arms.
Much Love,
Brother Bauldrick
