Henry Daniel "Dan" Roberts, 64, of Wilmington left this earthly life for his eternal rest on Wednesday, September 24, 2014 at New Hanover Regional Medical Center.

He was born February 4, 1950 in Little Washington, NC and was the son of the late Preston Lee Roberts and Clara Ireland Gorham.

Dan is survived by his sons, John Michael Roberts, Joshua Samuel Roberts and Chad Daniel Roberts: his daughter; Dana Ruth Brown (Scott): six precious grandchildren, Courtney A. Roberts, Victoria A. Crawford, Zachary Crawford, Sophia Roberts, Skyler Roberts and Mason Roberts and one wonderful great-granddaughter, Jordyn Nankervis.

Daniel served his country honorably in the US Army during the Vietnam Era.

Dan adored his children and grandchildren and was a wonderful dad and grandpa. In his younger years he was active in the Boy Scouts of America along with his boys. Dan had a great sense of humor and a quick wit in which he often shared with his family and friends. His favorite pastime was working crossword puzzles and spending time with his children and grandchildren. Dan will surely be missed but he leaves behind a legacy of love for his family, his country and his faith in God.

In complying with Dan's wishes, a "Green Burial" Graveside service will be held at 12:00 pm on Sunday, September 28, 2014 at Pine Forest Memorial Gardens, 770 Stadium Drive, Wake Forest, NC 27588. Dan always believed in and encouraged others to conserve nature and wildlife.
