CHRISTOPHER CORWIN ROBERTS
July 23, 1965
February 19, 2020
An angel has returned to Heaven. Christopher Corwin Roberts, 54, died Wednesday, February 19, 2020 in a car accident. He did not suffer.
Chris was born in Fort Collins on July 23, 1965, the youngest son of Lt. Col. Archibald Edward Roberts and Doris White Roberts. He graduated from Rocky Mountain High School in 1983. After high school, Chris joined the Army Reserves, married the love of his life and continued his education.
He began his career as a schoolteacher and started his family with his wife Karen. He spent the bulk of his teaching career in Falcon and Colorado Springs. He also coached year-round: football, basketball and track. Helping young people was truly his passion. He was beloved by all who know him. His latest endeavor was teaching in the youth prison system.
He leaves behind his loving wife of thirty years, Karen Roberts and their three sons, Zach, Nick, and Jay; his two brothers Guy and Charles and their families; many nieces and nephews; and the countless students and athletes he helped foster.
Chris is preceded in death by his father and mother. A memorial service will be held at 5 p.m. Monday, February 24th, at Evergreen Funeral Home, 1830 E. Fountain Blvd., Colorado Springs, for family and friends. There will be a Celebration of Life, to be determined at a later date, for all those whom he impacted through his life of teaching and coaching.

Chris and Karen were wonderful neighbors and became friends in the Hamlet. It is hard to believe that it has been 4 years since the tragic accident that took his life. Karen and their son Zach are still neighbors and friends and I cheerish their friendship. God be with and comfort all the family on this day and always. Marjie Mays

So many people impacted by Chris, myself included. Many of our kids had a shot at college due to his diligence and caring attitude. The world lost a good person. Prayers to the family during this trying time.

My heart is heavy with this news. Chris was a classmate at Rocky Mountain High School, and my lab partner for Physics class. Before he discovered his career, he patiently helped me with all the math in physics, and is the only reason I passed that class. I am still grateful all these years later. Fondly known as Mad Dog in high school, a true kind and gentle spirit. My deepest sympathies to his family.

I am so sorry to hear of Chris's death. He was a childhood friend of my brother. Karen and I were good friends in elementary school. Chris gave my brother and me our rabbit, Theodore, and I recall his family giving us strawberries from their garden. We made the best homemade strawberry ice cream from those berries.

Karen, my thoughts are with you, and I send my deepest condolences. I am very sorry for your loss.

I have never seen someone so skilled at teaching math to kids who did not want to learn. His wisdom, patience, and character was incredible! His impact will have a ripple effect for years to come.
