Mark Christopher Roberts' Obituary
Mark Christopher Roberts (Slick) passed away on Sunday, November 8th, 2020. He was born on May 22, 1963 and graduated from Kaukauna High School. He also attended UW- Oshkosh.
When asked what he did, he would always say “I’m in the bar business”. Whether he was working in one (Barneys, CBCs, Wingers, Golf Central), selling to one (Badger Liquor) or patronizing one, it was his mission to make people feels good and be happy. Mission accomplished.
He enjoyed the outdoors and was happy on any body of water fishing or in any woods. His sense of humor was always present, even if just asking him for directions. His most common answer was “Do you know where Kmart is? It’s nowhere near there.”
Mark is survived by his mother Floss Roberts; wife Beth Roberts; step son Brett Culp; brothers John (Peg) Roberts, Joseph Roberts, Timothy (Judy) Roberts; and sisters Peg Roberts, Jane (Steve) Lynk, and Maureen (Rudy) Budiac.
