Joshua Dupree Roberts

Born May 3, 1994; birth name Shannon Salter 28 passed away unexpectedly on his birthday May 3, 2022. He is the son of Cecil R. Roberts and Janet L. Roberts of Erie, PA. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Willie Meyers and Sarah J. Meyers, paternal grandparents Roxie L. Roberts and Theodore Roberts. Joshua loved to eat... everything! His mother, Janet couldn't keep food in the house, and she loved watching him eat.

He was very talented. He displayed his artistic abilities through his eye for drawing and his passion for music. If he saw it, he could draw it, no matter how intricate the details. He also spent a lot of time playing the drums. You could always hear him practicing in his room for hours. Another one of his thrills was cars. He enjoyed riding, admiring, and drawing them. But most importantly, he had loving, open heart for giving to others; he was always giving and sharing to everyone especially his family.

Joshua was grateful for everything, and anything given to him. You could see the spark of appreciation in his eyes and the bright smile on his face showing his gratitude. He really did live for all the small things in life. Through his struggles and life's ups and downs, he knew the Lord! He was given a GREAT foundation and God knew his heart.
