Mr. Donald Wayne Roberson, of Dyersburg, passed away Tuesday, June 2, 2026 at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital. Don was born December 7, 1938 in the Chic community of Dyer County. He and his family moved to Chicago in the early 1950's and after high school, he went to work for the A&P Bakery Co. for many years and served proudly in the United States Army. During this time, he met his wife, Joyce and later they moved back to settle in Dyersburg. They purchased the Double R Restaurant in Southtown and Joyce managed it as Don did not like to work with food. He started driving a local milk delivery route for Mr. Joe Ledford. Later, when his wife passed away, he sold the Double R Restaurant and went to work for Dr Pepper-Pepsi of Dyersburg as a delivery driver, until his retirement. In his free time, he loved to hunt and fish and go to as many local car races as he could. He also enjoyed the races at Southland Park in West Memphis, AR, where he was pretty lucky, sometimes. Family gatherings including fireworks, cookouts, birthdays and holidays together meant a lot to Don. His nieces and nephews say that they will miss him for their big fireworks show this year.
