Jerry Lee Roberts

October 06, 1940 ~ September 14, 2020

It is with great sorrow that the family of JERRY L. ROBERTS, 79 of Vero Beach, Florida, announces his passing.  He died peacefully at home on September 14, 2020 in the company of his family, due to complications from Alzheimer’s Disease. He is survived by his beloved wife Sarah (Sally) Archibald; his adored children Whitney L. Roberts (O.Grayson Miller III and their son O.Grayson Miller IV), Christie Roberts and Quinn A. Roberts; his cherished sister Nanette (Roger) Pearson; and many nieces and nephews. His former wife, Petra Walter Roberts, mother of Whitney, remained a lifelong friend.

Jerry was born on October 6, 1940, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He graduated from the University of Utah and spent the first years of his career traveling the country as a men’s clothing manufacturer’s representative, as he served simultaneously in the U.S. Army reserves. An entrepreneur at heart, he founded Jacobs & Roberts Neckwear in Los Angeles, and subsequently J.L. Roberts and Company Fine Neckwear in New York City. After nearly 35 years in retail, design and clothing manufacturing, Jerry became an owner and operator of Master & Main Enterprises, a chain of gas station/convenience stores in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He was a former resident of New Canaan and Wilton, Connecticut.

Jerry’s loved ones remember him as an avid golfer (member of Bent Pine in Vero Beach, FL and formerly The Stanwich Club in Greenwich, CT), a pop music lover, classic car aficionado and a man with the rare ability to add joy and levity to any moment. His absence is profound, and he will be missed by all who knew him.

The family wishes to thank the countless expressions of condolences received.  Donations in his memory may be made to the Alzheimer and Parkinson Association of Indian River County.

  • The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

  • Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
