Ivan Denzil Robertson, Jr.

Ivan Denzil Robertson, Jr., 92, of Beaumont, died Friday, March 19, 2021 at Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas in Beaumont.

Denzil enjoyed duck hunting and fly fishing with his close friends, some from childhood. He was the last soul of this very special group of friends and always spoke fondly of those times peppered with many humorous misadventures. He especially enjoyed duck hunting Willow Slough with his three sons. In his later years, he made Jasper his hub and enjoyed traveling, fishing, investing, antiquing and small-town life making many friends.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Ogden Robertson; and great-grandson, Julian Owens-Miller.

Survivors include his brother, Robert and June Robertson; sons, Denny Robertson, Richard Robertson and Dan Robertson; daughters-in-law, Mary Ellen Robertson and Cynthia Robertson; grandchildren, Annie and TeeJoe LeBlanc, Allen and Toni Robertson, April and Britt Simoneaux, Thomas Robertson, Austin Robertson, Andrew Robertson, Adam Robertson, Erin Pelias and Jody Reho; and seven great-grandchildren, Jenna Robertson, Norah LeBlanc, Luke LeBlanc, Isaak Simoneaux, August Simoneaux, Circe Pelias and Zeno Pelias.

The family would like to give a very special thanks to his Jasper friends John and Bonnie Derkits and his caregivers at Buckner Calder Woods who took compassionate care of him, Damiana Reed, Brandi Wilson, Roxie Martin, Deborah McAdams, Betty Edwards, Terry Cornelius and Ethel Griffin.
