Obituary of Andrew Augestine Roberts

Andrew “Straw” Roberts passed away on April 19, 2026, in Toronto, Ontario, at the age of 66.

Born on April 10, 1960, in Old Harbour, St. Catherine, Jamaica, Andrew spent his early years surrounded by family, community, and the values that would shape the man he became. He attended Old Harbour Bay Primary and Secondary School, and later continued his training through a youth program in Jamaica. In 1977, he moved to Canada, where he furthered his education at West Park Secondary School.

Andrew was a light in our lives, someone who was always quick to listen and carried a heart big enough for anyone who needed him. He was kind, caring, and known for the love he showed so freely to both family and friends. His presence brought comfort, laughter, and connection, leaving a lasting impression on everyone he met.

He will be remembered for his strength, dignity, and the deep love he had for those around him. The impact he made will never be forgotten.

Andrew is lovingly remembered by his three daughters, six grandchildren, his beloved mother, three sisters, two brothers, and a wide circle of extended family and friends.

He will be deeply missed and forever held in our hearts
