Roberson's sister Jennifer, 18, postponed her Dec. 9 wedding to prepare for her brother's memorial service. "He was my hero," she said. "He was always real protective over me."
A handsome man who liked hip-hop music, fast cars, In-N-Out Burger fries, Nike shoes and Jean Paul Gaultier cologne, Roberson had hoped military service would give him an edge in becoming a California Highway Patrol officer. He graduated from Barstow High School in 2002 and attended the First Congregational Church in Barstow.
