CHADWICK ROBERTS, 65, 
of West Bloomfield, a lifelong 
rebel, schemer and dreamer, 
passed away on Nov. 3, 2021.
“Dadwick,” as his son liked 
to call him, was impressively 
world weary in a way that 
made everyone who interacted 
with him question, even at 
an early age, how he defiantly 
refused to bend to conformity 
and risk letting the vibrancy of 
his child-like wonder ever be 
broken.

dinaire to his children, Marla 
Vogt-Roberts; surrogate fam-
ily, including Sheri Mark and

Melanie Sicherman; all of the 
souls that passed through and 
were forever changed by the 
house on Tamerlane Drive.

Park Cemetery. Contributions 
may be made to a charity of
