Goodland, KS resident, Delain Jack Roberts, 67, passed away on Friday, January 27, 2023 at the Goodland Regional Medical Center in Goodland.

Jack was born on February 4, 1955 in Atwood, Kansas to Jack Delain and Glenda J. Roberts.  He grew up and stayed with his grandparents in Oberlin, KS for many years.

In the 1990’s, Jack and his brother David moved to Goodland.  They quickly became a part of the community and developed many friends in Goodland.  Jack loved to attend movies at the theater and the car races at the fairgrounds.  He liked to joke and tease other people at any opportunity.

Jack joined the Goodland Catholic Church in 2002.  He became a very active member in the Church and the Knights of Columbus.  Jack usually was one of the first people to volunteer at any function.  He loved playing Bingo, and helping his fellow Knights with setup and cleanup on Bingo nights.  Jack enjoyed collecting the tickets for the Tilt A Whirl during fair time.

Jack had a passion to paint and would give his paintings away to his friends.  He was proud to enter his artwork at the fair and was thrilled to receive a ribbon for his entry.  Jack liked to earn extra money by mowing yards in town.   Another passion of Jack’s was the Denver Broncos.  He was able to attend several Bronco games over the years.  He would always call several people before and after a game, and he was very excited when the Bronco’s won a Super Bowl.

Preceding him in death was his mother Glenda J. Roberts.

He is survived by his father Jack Roberts Sr. and step mother Donna of Longmont, CO, a sister Jennifer and her daughter Anastasia also of Longmont, CO, brothers David Roberts of Goodland, KS, Everett (Jennifer) Roberts of Papillion, NE, and their children Bryce, and Landon John of Longmont, CO; a step brother Roger Gibson and step sister Gigi King, of Longmont, CO, and cousins Tim and Barbara Wolters as well as many other cousins.

We will always remember Delain Big Jack as a very kind and sweet loving gentle man always with a smile on his face.
