Roberto was born on November 15, 1959, in Corpus Christi, Texas, to Alonzo Luis Chavarria and Carmen Hernandez Chavarria. He was known for his warm smile, wonderful sense of humor, and kind-hearted nature. Roberto had a special way of connecting with people and never met a stranger. His genuine spirit and friendly personality touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him. Roberto was an avid sports fan who especially enjoyed cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, and the San Antonio Spurs. Two of his greatest passions in life were cooking and music. He found immense joy in preparing meals for family and friends, often bringing loved ones together around the table. Cooking was one of the many ways he expressed his love for others. Music was another important part of Roberto's life. During the 1970s and 1980s, he played drums for Grupo Mayo. A talented musician, Roberto had the privilege of performing alongside his brother, Al "Chato" Chavarria, for many years. Together, they traveled throughout the country sharing their music and creating memories that they cherished dearly. Roberto was preceded in death by his parents, Alonzo Luis Chavarria and Carmen Hernandez Chavarria; his sister, Janie Garcia; his brother, his nephew, Steven Alonso Chavarria; his brother, Ernesto Chavarria; and his beloved son, Robert Eugene "Babo" Chavarria.
