The funeral of a young Craigavon father-of-five, who died suddenly after going missing earlier this week, is to take place on Sunday.

He was also the beloved son of Judith Jennett and John Roberts and stepson of Joanne; much loved brother of Conor, Emma-Jane, Jason, Steven, Jamie-Lee, Antonia, Dillan, Alicia and Naomi – also Cohen and Chloe mum Ava.
His funeral will take place on Sunday at 9.15am from his granny’s, Mary Roberts home, 27 Larkfield Meadows to St Anthony’s Church for 10am Requiem Mass. Interment afterwards in St John’s Lylo.
Tributes continue to pour in for a young man who left an indelible mark on so many people.
