Lake County Mourns Loss of 14-Year-Old Andrew Roberts; Community Rallies to Support Grieving Father

LAKE COUNTY, CA — A wave of grief has swept through the Hidden Valley Lake community following the tragic death of 14-year-old Andrew Roberts, whose body was found on June 8, 2025. In the wake of this heartbreaking loss, the community is coming together to support Andrew’s father,

Andrew was more than just a teenager—he was a bright light, known for his boundless curiosity, vibrant energy, and infectious sense of humor. Friends and family describe him as imaginative, thoughtful, and always eager to lend a hand. Whether he was asking a hundred questions or making someone laugh with his quick wit, Andrew had a rare and beautiful way of connecting with the world around him.

For all 14 years of his life, it had been just Andrew and his dad. Adam, a devoted single father, built his life around raising his son with love, intention, and unshakable dedication. The bond they shared was unbreakable—rooted in laughter, learning, and unconditional love.

Now, as Adam faces the unimaginable pain of losing his only child, those who knew and loved the Roberts family have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help ease the financial burden of funeral expenses and give Adam space to grieve without added hardship.

“Andrew was always willing to help anyone. He was full of energy and always aware of everything around him,” reads a message on the fundraiser page. “His passing was tragic and unexpected, and we just can’t imagine the pain Adam feels. Andrew is going to be missed deeply.”

The outpouring of support is a reflection of the impact Andrew made in his short time on earth, and the deep respect and affection the community holds for Adam. Contributions, messages of condolence, and shared memories continue to flow in as Lake County comes together to honor Andrew’s life and uplift his father in this time of sorrow.

Those wishing to help can donate to the campaign on GoFundMe.com by searching for “Support for Andrew Roberts’ Funeral and Adam Roberts”, or by following the links shared by local friends and organizations.

As the community mourns this devastating loss, may we remember Andrew for the joy he brought, and may his memory continue to inspire love, compassion, and connection.

Rest in peace, Andrew. You are loved. You are missed. You will not be forgotten.
