Frank Roebuck

Frank Roebuck, 92, of Nederland, Texas, went home to be with the Lord on February 1, 2025. He was born in Jasper County, Texas, on January 3, 1933, to Vernon and Clara Roebuck. After graduating from Zavalla High School in 1951 and serving two years in the U.S. Army, he returned to Texas to marry the love of his life, Doris Jean Brown, his bride for the next sixty-seven years. They lived in Port Arthur, Texas, and Groves, Texas, before settling in Beauxart Gardens, near Nederland.

After he retired from Texaco, he and Doris regularly traveled in their RV to bluegrass festivals around Texas. They spent many weekends at Triple Creek, outside Woodville, Texas, listening to and often singing bluegrass and gospel music. They also loved the annual bluegrass festivals at Salmon Lake in Grapeland, Texas. They both loved bluegrass music, and one of their favorite songs to sing was “Rose of My Heart,” a love song each would be singing to the other.

Frank publicly professed his faith in Jesus Christ, and throughout their years in Southeast Texas, Frank and Doris were faithful members of Central Baptist Church in Port Arthur, First Baptist Church of Beauxart Gardens, and First Baptist Church of Nederland.

Frank’s family sends their heartfelt gratitude to the caregivers of Montebello Home Care and Bonne Vie for the love and care they showed to Frank over the past several years.

Frank is survived by his two children, Lisa Travis and her husband, Rick, of Frisco, Texas, and Kyle Roebuck and his love of seven years, Donna Anders, of Nederland; four grandchildren, Shannon Field and her husband, David, of Keller, Texas; Abby Hoang and her husband, Tim, of Richardson, Texas; Sam Travis and his girlfriend, Gali Baca, of Madison, Wisconsin; and Kiley Roebuck, of Nederland; three great grandchildren, Aiden Field, Christian Field, and Isla Field; his brother, Vernice Roebuck; sister, Dianne Rye; and numerous beloved nephews, nieces, and in-laws.

He is preceded in death by his wife, his mother and father, and his brother, Hubert Roebuck.

His earthly body will rest next to Doris in Boykin Cemetery, near Zavalla.
