The Tate Heroes Scholarship in honor of Dillon Roberson was announced Friday night at Tate High School as his family was honored.
Dillon was a 2009 graduate of Tate, where he played football and was more commonly known by the nickname “Robo”. He passed away in May after fighting a year and a half battle with lymphoma.
His parents, Warren and Renee Roberson, and brother, Tanner Roberson, were recognized with the “Aggie Hero Award” during Friday night’s football game. The Tate Heroes Scholarship will be presented to a senior who exemplifies honor, courage and character.
