Exana Rose Roberts Obituary (2025)

Exana Rose Roberts, a bright and beautiful light in the lives of all who knew her, passed away peacefully on July 2, 2025, at the age of 6. Born with 1p36 deletion syndrome, Exana faced many complex medical challenges, including visual and hearing impairments, developmental delays, and more. To know Exana, was to know that none of those things defined her. Her life was filled with laughter, joy, and deep love. She was always smiling, always giggling, always finding ways to tell us her story. Exana found happiness in the little things, listening to Cocomelon songs, feeling the vibrations of her tomato chair as she tapped its sides, hearing stories read aloud (especially the ones with sound effects), and being soothed as her hair was gently played with or her forehead softly brushed. She taught those around her how to slow down, to listen, and to love more fully. She is survived by her devoted mother, Seaira Roberts, who gave everything to ensure Exana had the fullest life possible. She is also survived by her loving grandparents, Rebecca Pitts and Shaun Roberts, and an army of family, friends, caregivers, and supporters who cherished her deeply. Exana fought every day with courage and joy. Her mother fought beside her with unwavering strength. Her legacy of resilience, laughter, and boundless love will live on through everyone she touched. Seaira will carry her daughter in her heart forever and continue to share her story with the world. Brookside Funeral Home is caring for the family.
