We are remembering Tom Roberts in the 2025 Tour de Force 9/11 Memorial Bike Ride.

In a heart-wrenching loss, the community mourns the untimely passing of retired Green Bay Police Officer Tom Roberts. Beloved by family, friends, and neighbors alike, Tom’s life was tragically cut short in an accident caused by a drunk driver on the night he was helping a stranded motorist, a testament to his selfless nature even after years of dedicated service. Known for his compassion and dedication, Tom embodied the spirit of service, both during his career and in his retired life, where he continued to look out for others. One of the way he did this was his involvement in The Tour de Force.

The “Tour de Force” was started in 2002 and has become a four-day, 280 mile ride, in which 300 law enforcement officers from across the U.S. and abroad, along with some family and friends, participate to honor those that were lost on September 11, 2001 and raise funds for the families of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. 

Tom Roberts joined the Tour de Force family in 2007 as a rider and then became the Tour's photographer.   He raised money from friends, family and his hard work.  At one point collecting beer cans from local bars to recycle and donated that money to Tour de Force.  Three times Tom was the top fundraiser.

Tom's passing leaves a significant void in the lives of those who knew him.
