Deacon Roberts graduated from Wheatley High School in 1950 and he received his Associates Degree from St. Philips College.

He enlisted for four years of active service in the United States Navy where he served as Gun Man on the Battleship USS Roan, during the Korean War.  He also worked as a Fireman in the U.S. Navy Reserve and worked as a Radar Repairman until his retirement.  Having a great love for children, he worked as a Bus Driver for the Northeast Independent School District.
