In lieu of flowers or plants, the family requests that you consider a donation to the Red Wrench Club at McPherson College, McPherson, Kansas.  This is to honor the love that Ken had for antique cars.  The Automotive Restoration Technology program at McPherson College was established in 1976 through the generosity and foresight of local entrepreneur Gaines H. "Smokey" Billue.  His gift of over 125 classic and antique cars provided the initial funds for the program.  Mr. Billue, the Templeton family and others contributed toward the construction of Templeton Hall, which continues to serve as the home to the world-renowned program.  When making a donation please add "In memory of Ken Roberts" in the comment section.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 19, 2023 at Wills Point Church of Christ located at 302 Corky Boyd Avenue in Wills Point, Texas.
