Clarence David Roberts
May 30, 1946 - March 1, 2020
Clarence David Roberts went to be with the Lord on March 1, 2020.
David or "Horseshoe" as he was affectionately nicknamed. He was a wonderful man that was loved, is missed, and whose memories will always be cherished. He was a loving, soft-spoken husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather brother and friend. All that knew David realized there was something special within him, a calm that likely helped with his work, his life's passion-horses. There wasn't a horse he could not break or shoe, a master at a slowly dying art.
The eldest born to Frances and Charles Roberts David was born in Canton, Georgia in 1946. After graduation from Sprayberry High School in Marietta, he was employed by Lockheed Martin. From there he started working at horse farms from Buckhead to Chattanooga, finally finding his way to horse country in Kentucky. Here he met the love of his life and married Jean Truitt-Roberts in 1970.
David is survived by his wife of 49 years Jean; two children Laura (Chris) and J. Roberts; two grandchildren; two great-grandchildren.
Services will be at 4 p.m. on Friday in the chapel at James H. Davis Funeral Home & Crematory. Visitation is from 2 to 4 p.m. on Friday at the funeral home.
