With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, the Augusta community is mourning the tragic passing of 10-year-old Deangelo Roberson, who died on Friday at 11:46 a.m. at Wellstar MCG Health, according to Coroner Mark Bowen. His passing has left family members, friends, classmates, and the wider community devastated as they come to terms with the loss of a young life taken far too soon.
Deangelo’s death is a painful reminder of how fragile life can be, especially when it involves a child whose future was still unfolding. At just 10 years old, he was in the early stages of life’s journey—growing, learning, and beginning to shape the dreams and possibilities ahead of him. The grief felt by those who knew him is immeasurable, as they reflect on both the joy he brought and the promise of all that was still to come.
To his family, no words can truly capture the depth of this loss. The passing of a child is among the most profound griefs anyone can experience, and the pain is one that reverberates through every part of daily life. In this time of unimaginable sorrow, may you find strength in the love surrounding you and comfort in the memories of Deangelo’s laughter, presence, and spirit.
To his classmates, teachers, and friends, the absence of Deangelo will be deeply felt in the hallways, classrooms, and everyday moments that once included him. Grief at such a young age is difficult to process, but coming together as a community can offer support, understanding, and healing. Sharing memories and supporting one another can help keep his spirit alive in meaningful ways.
The Augusta community now stands united in mourning, offering prayers, condolences, and support to the Roberson family. In times like this, communities often come together not only in grief, but in compassion—reminding one another of the importance of kindness, care, and connection.
Though his time here was brief, Deangelo Roberson’s life mattered deeply. The impact he had on those around him, however small or large, will not be forgotten. His memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who loved him, and in the community that now grieves his absence.
May Deangelo rest in peace, and may his memory bring comfort, love, and reflection to all who mourn his passing.
