This resolution honors the memory of attorney Roger Colbert, who passed away on February 4, 2025, at the age of 67. Born in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, Colbert earned a degree in political science from Arkansas State University and later obtained his Juris Doctorate from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He practiced law in Paragould, focusing on real estate, corporations, financial institutions, and estates. Colbert was actively involved in the legal community, serving as President of the Greene-Clay Bar Association and as a member of the House of Delegates for the Arkansas Bar Association. He also contributed to the development of Greene County through various nonprofit organizations.

In addition to his professional achievements, Colbert was recognized for his community service, receiving accolades such as the Paragould Chamber of Commerce Member of the Year in 2003 and the Greene County Volunteer Attorney of the Year in 2011. He was a devoted family man, survived by his daughters, mother, siblings, and other loved ones. The resolution expresses gratitude for Colbert's significant contributions to his community and the legal profession, and it calls for a copy of the resolution to be presented to his family in recognition of his legacy.
