Christopher Earl Roberts

Christopher Earl Roberts, 43, of Hot Springs, passed away on September 24, 2026.

Chris was a graduate of Glenwood High School, went on to earn his Master Plumber license, and started his own plumbing business. He was an incredibly hardworking man who built a career and business through his skill, determination, and dedication. He had great sense of humor and way of bringing laughter to those around him. He loved helping others and enjoyed the simple things in life, but nothing in this world compared to the love he had for his children. His daughters, Mettea, Cierra, and Cazmia, and his son, Asa, were his greatest pride and the most important part of his life.

Chris also shared an incredibly special bond with his nephew, Michael “Mikey” Crail. Chris was far more than an uncle to Mikey—he was his mentor and best friend. He brought Mikey alongside him in his plumbing business, taught him the trade, and invested in his future by sending him to college for plumbing. Chris believed in Mikey, built him up, and ultimately entrusted the business he worked so hard to build to him. The knowledge, work ethic, and confidence Chris poured into Mikey will continue through him, carrying a piece of Chris and his legacy forward.

Chris also loved God. In recent months, his faith had become an especially important part of his life as he dove deeply into God’s Word and grew in his relationship with Him. That faith brought meaning to his life and was something he held close to his heart.

Chris is survived by his mother, Gloria Roberts; his brother, Brandon Roberts; his daughters, Mettea Lopez, Cierra Shearin, and Cazmia Roberts; his son, Asa Roberts; his nephews, Michael Crail, Anthony Finley, and Levar Strickland; his nieces, Destiny Harper, Cara Roberts, and Brooke Self; along with many other family members and friends who loved him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his father, Floyd Roberts; his sister, Stephanie Malicoat; his maternal grandmother, Alice Shirley; his paternal grandmother, Edith Roberts; his cousin, Josh Hearn; and his uncle, Glen Malicoat.

Chris will be remembered for his humor, his hardworking spirit, his faith, and above all else, the tremendous love he had for his children. His time here was far too short, but the love he gave and the memories he leaves behind will remain with those who knew and loved him.
