Obituary of Roberto Sierra

Roberto Sierra

Roberto Sierra, passed away unexpectedly, at the age of 47, on Monday, June 12, 2023, at his home in Plainfield, IL. He is born in Jalisco, Mexico on December 29, 1975, to Ramon and Maria Victoria Sierra. Roberto grew up on the south side of Chicago. He was a graduate of Bogan High School and received his Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from University of Illinois at Chicago. He has been employed for more than 20 years at Northern Trust Company, which is where he met the love of his life, Adlin. Roberto was a humble man who was devoted to the Lord and his family. 

Roberto always put family first, making time for them after a day of work. Whether it was taking Ariel to the library, Faith to buy baking supplies, Nick to his baseball game or going to Best Buy with Nathan, Roberto never said NO.  He was always willing to pick up the 2 things Adlin forgot at the grocery store but would show up with 10 more, including his favorite vanilla cookies.  Roberto always had a smile on his face and enjoyed making those he loved laugh. He spent time playing video games with his kids, watching his favorite TV show, "The Office" or the Chicago Bears. He enjoyed staying busy with projects around the house and loved to worship God filling his day with music, at times he sang off key but he knew that God received it. There will forever be a void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Roberto is survived by his loving wife of 20 years, Adlin I. (nee Rodriguez) Sierra; his four children, Nathaniel, Ariel, Nicholas, and Faith Sierra; his mother, Maria Victoria Sierra; siblings, Eduardo (Karina) Sierra, Susana (Jeovany) Galindo, and Elizabeth (Eric) Ledesma Sierra; mother-in-law, Nilda I. Martinez; and his sister-in-law, Angela S. Powell. He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

He is preceded by his father, Ramon Sierra; and his sister, Rocio Sierra.

Roberto leaves behind a wonderful legacy filled with love, laughter, and joy.
