Jimmy Randall Roberts

Jimmy Randall Roberts, age 84, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on June 2, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on April 28, 1942, in Cairo Ga to Eston and Juanita Clark Roberts. Jimmy moved to Warner Robins at an early age, where he accepted Christ as his savior at Second Baptist Church. He was a proud graduate of the class of 1960 at Warner Robins High School where he played football. He graduated from Massey Business College and after working for Central Georgia Railroad, he became a successful manager of Lowe’s Stores in Macon, Warner Robins, Thomasville, Savannah and Tallahassee. He received the honor of being named Lowe’s Manager of the Year in 1982. Jimmy oversaw the construction of the first two Lowe’s Super stores. Jimmy was a long-time faithful member of North Florida Baptist Church, where he served as a Deacon for many years. He loved to pray and led many people to salvation. Through his work with his church’s Care Ministry, he and Patty visited and prayed for hundreds of church members hospitalized, shut-ins, and others in need. Jimmy was a man of many talents and could fix anything. He was an excellent cook and one of his favorites was a low-country boil. He was an avid fisherman, especially enjoyed trout fishing in north GA mountains and deep-sea fishing on his boat in the gulf. Preceded in death by his parents, his brother Leroy Roberts and his sister Mary Nell Roberts Crosby, brothers-in-law Gerald Day, Warner Sanford and David Woodard, and sister-in-law Vivian Day Woodard. He is survived by his devoted wife of 63 years, Patty Day Roberts and his loving son, Stephen Randall Roberts; his sister Laverne Roberts Waites, sisters-in-law Kay Lord (Clifton Lord), Patricia Sanford, Linda Day and many special nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
