Neil Roberts

Neil Samuel Roberts, 36, of Chippewa Falls, WI, passed away January 1, 2018. Neil fought an epic battle with mental illness. He is no longer a slave to fear; he is a child of God. He loved his son fiercely and gave him no doubt of a father’s love in Caleb’s three short years. Everyone will remember Neil’s enormous heart, boisterous laugh, love of history, target shooting, the Brewers, and spending time with family. He had a group of friends who became his chosen family. He was loved and adored by his cousins. Neil worked at TTM Technologies for 11 years and was surrounded by loving co-workers who are feeling his loss.

Family was extremely important to Neil. He is survived by his son, Caleb Wahler Roberts; mother, Jeaneen Roberts; father and step-mother, Harold Sam and Debbie Roberts; sister, Laurie Boettcher; niece and nephew, Kyra and Deklan Boettcher; very special Granny, Therese Jenness; aunts and uncles, Ellen and Aaron Schmidt, Joyce and Jim Miller, Tim and Karen Smith, and Marissa and Scott Shelton; and a slew of cousins. He was welcomed to heaven with open arms by loving family who passed before him.

Neil’s family would like to thank the dispatcher, Chippewa Falls Police Department, coroner, and ambulance service for their grace, tact, and compassion in our time of need.

The family invites you to celebrate Neil’s life. A celebration of life will be held at 3 p.m., Saturday, January 13 at Pederson-Volker Funeral Chapel, Chippewa Falls with Rev. Michael Houle officiating. Visitation will be from 1 p.m. until the start of the service.
