Respected referee Gene Roberson retired after 45 successful years on the field, and throughout his long career, his wife Agnes was always there to support him.

Gene Roberson, known as one of East Texas’ most respected high school football referees, retired after 45 years of calling games.

He spent lengthy years officiating high school football games, primarily in and around Tyler and Arp, Texas.

Gene’s work was at the Tyler TASO (Texas Association of Sports Officials) regional clinic, where he was honored for his decades of service.

He said he felt proud and grateful, and although he had mixed feelings, he knew it was time to step away from the game he loved.

And not to forget, behind his 45-year journey on the field stands someone just as important, i.e., his wife, Agnes Roberson.

Reportedly, Gene and Agnes have been married for a long time, i.e., 46 years, a bond that’s lasted even longer than Gene’s officiating career.

Together in this half-century journey, they have raised two sons, Gabriel and Roberson, both of whom went on to graduate from college.

Graylon Roberson graduated from Texas State University, and Gabriel attended the University of Texas at Arlington.

Now, Gene and Agnes are proud grandparents to two grandchildren.

Agnes Roberson Is a Retired Educator from Tyler, Texas!

Hailing from Tyler, Texas, Agnes Roberson maintains a low profile away from the media scrutiny.

Like her husband Gene, Agnes has also already retired. She has officially ended her career working with the Tyler Independent School District (ISD).

She graduated with a Master of Education from UT Tyler in 1978 and went to Whitehouse High School.
