Chad Jeremy Roberts was born in Amery, Wisconsin on April 12, 1970, the son of Gary Roberts and Deborah (Vance) Manlove. He grew up in the Amery area, then graduated from Roseville, MN area high school. Chad studied horticulture after high school, and he maintained his love of plants and gardening throughout his life. Chad lived and worked in the Twin Cities for several years, and later in Danbury, Hinckley, and Duluth, MN. He was blessed with close friends and a supportive community. Chad was clever and creative throughout his life. He showcased his imagination through painting and other crafts. Family enjoyed receiving white-elephant gifts from Chad at Christmas time - it was always a fun surprise! He had a love for animals and the great outdoors, especially at the lake. He was always up for a great adventure, whether it was in a canoe on the river, or back at the family farm.

Chad was the “fun-cle” with his nieces and nephews, spoiling them with games and toys. He had a magnetic personality and could light up a room with his energy and charisma. Friends and family were always important to him.

Chad was preceded in death by his grandparents, Ralph and Lillian Roberts, and Virgil Vance; as well as aunts, uncles and cousins who remain in our hearts and memories. Left to mourn are his parents, Deborah & Jeffrey Manlove, Gary & Tham Roberts; grandmother, Delores Vance; brothers, Daryl (Sheree) Roberts, Travis (Bethany) Roberts, and Randy (Jodi) Roberts; and nieces and nephews, Logan, Jessica, Katlyn and Mariah, Zoe and Ava, Adalin, Reuben and Raelynn. He is mourned by many aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives, and friends.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2025 at 11:00 am at Redeemer Lutheran Church, Amery, WI. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service at the church.
