Glenn Roberson died July 15, 2020 having fought a valiant fight against the ravages of hemochromatosis.
Glenn was born March 6, 1960 in Belle Fourche, SD to Ronald and Mary Roberson. He was introduced to the cowboy life at age 8 on a ranch near Albion, MT and the cowboy way stuck hard and fast. He attended grade schools in Newcastle, Rocksprings, and Laramie, as well as old fashion, one-room, country schoolhouses in Albion and Tie Siding. He attended junior and senior high school in Laramie, graduating in the class of 1978.
He worked on many ranches including Greenwood, Bellvore, Brugeman, and Bell-Otte. He loved horses, mechanics, and guns, and John Wayne. Did we mention Glenn was a cowboy? He had a passion for saddle bronc riding and rodeo. Glenn was fiercely loyal to his friends and he developed many friends fiercely loyal to himself. Did we mention Glenn was a cowboy?
Glenn shared his own brand of love in his marriages to Celia, Shae, Robin, and Ann (his high school sweetheart) who he shared his life was with until the end. His greatest love and pride were for his sons Jake and Shell. Did we mention Glenn was a cowboy?
With his natural mechanic abilities, he worked at the Albany County Road and Bridge until the disease he fought so hard rendered him unable to continue.
Glenn is survived in death by his wife Ann, sons Jake and Shell Roberson, parents Ron Roberson and Mary and Terry Benson, three brothers Monte, Gobi, and Clay, a half-brother, Aaron Benson, a step brother, TG Benson, five stepsisters, Geri Craig, Brooke Robinson, Becky Lougee, Sydra Thatch, and Kara Schaffner, dozens of nieces and nephews, (four) stepchildren T.J., Ben, Ashley, Ryan, and Joel He was preceded in death by his brother, Justin.
Words cannot express how much we will miss this cowboy.

So very sad to hear. I went to school with Glenn but my brother Allen Hixson probably knew him better as he has been friends with Monte for ever. Many prayers to all the families and friends left behind.
Ann, your cowboy will be missed dearly!! May you find peace in the Plan of Salvation and the infinite Atonement of Jesus Christ knowing that this is just a temporary separation. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Sending you my love...Cyndi Cook Christensen
I'm deeply saddened by the death of Glenn. Love and hugs to all his family!
For Glenn to have been a lover of horses, John Wayne, and guns, he must've been a pretty straight-up man; a real Straight Arrow. And, yes, he was a cowboy. To quote Wayne, "Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway". That's what Glenn did best. My very deepest condolences to everyone in his family---- Vance K. Burch, Clay Roberson's father-in-law
Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you! Darla & Glen Whipple
