He worked as a heavy equipment operator in construction for many years, a career that reflected his strong work ethic and commitment to providing for those he loved.

Roberto was a devoted father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He loved his family deeply and would do anything for them. His presence, strength, and unwavering love will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
