Ronald "Lex" Alexander Roberson

On Wednesday, March 30, 2022 as a result of medical complications, Lex’s earthly life came to a close and he became an official resident of the kingdom of Heaven, joining with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Lex was a loving husband and is survived by his devoted wife Amy Forrest Roberson and three children; Jack, Anna Kate, & Ellie; his mother and father: Cindy and Ron Roberson; brothers: Kenneth Zamzo, John Strutko; sisters: Victoria Hikade & Shelby Roberson; father-in-law & mother-in-law: Jeff and Michelle Forrest; brother-in-law: John Forrest; sister-in-law Haleigh Forrest and a large group of loving and faithful friends.

Lex attended Stockbridge Senior High School and graduated in 1999. He was also a graduate of the Fulton County Public Safety Center in 2001.

At the age of 12, Lex began a musical ministry that would continue over the next three decades in the Atlanta area. This calling allowed him to travel the United States and the world as a member of transMission, the worship outfit of The Salvation Army in the Southeast. Most recently, Lex was a director of the music ministry for the Retro Church in McDonough, Ga.

In 2007, Lex’s substantial musical talent and ability led him to the world of country music as a professional touring musician. He traveled the country with the Rachel Farley band, playing bass guitar as they toured alongside stars Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan as part of the “My Kind of Party” tour in 2012. Lex continued to grow in the music industry, eventually accepting the position of tour manager.

In addition, he was a former sworn law enforcement officer, serving the citizens of the city of Stone Mountain as a police officer in Dekalb county, Georgia, However, his proudest title and most beloved role was that of a father and husband.

Lex was a proud and faithful fan of the Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Falcons, and Georgia Bulldogs. He was a foodie and loved to cook. He was a lover of the blues and gospel music, and Lex was a true music theorist, passing along his considerable knowledge through teaching.

His passion was helping others, and he lived by a mantra of “first God, then you, then himself.” Lex touched the lives of thousands, and was always in a state of selflessness. Lex was larger than life, bringing joy, laughter, and love to all. He will always be remembered and missed.

A visitation of family and friends will be held for Ronald on Saturday, April 9, 2022 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Avalon Church | 1467 Highway 20 West McDonough, GA, followed by a celebration of life at 1:00 PM.
