On August 13, 2011, a giant in our lives was welcomed home.
Loran "Slim" Roberts was born January 9, 1924 in Denver, Colorado to Will and Ethel Roberts.
His life was filled with adventure and he lived his full and wonderful life with gusto. Whether it was serving his country in the Navy, flying a plane in Iraq, Iran, or India, riding a motorcycle, camel, or elephant, skydiving, or racing a car up Pikes Peak.
Slim was a strong, gentle, loving, giving, and humble man, who was our "Hero" and we have been truly blessed and honored to have him in our lives.
He is survived by Darlene, his bride of thirty-eight years; his daughters, Lori Sugar and Diana (James) Andersen, his son, Steve (Julie) Cornia, his daughter-in-law, Annette, and his little sister, Edytha Lesuer, as well as many wonderful grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and a cousin. He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister, Imogene Justus, two sons, Jerry and Randy Cornia and nephew, Marque Lesuer.
The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Highland Cove and Alpine Hospice for their loving care.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, August 19, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. at Larkin Sunset Gardens Mortuary, 1950 East Dimple Dell Road (10600 South, Sandy, Utah. Friends may call one hour prior.
Inurnment will follow in the Mountain View Memorial Estates Cemetery.
