He will be remembered as an adventurous, exciting, and a kind hearted individual who always saw the good in people and had a great sense of humor. He had the purest heart and most charming smile. Roland was a loving father who was extremely proud of his children. Everyone that knew Roland knows he was always willing to help a neighbor, friend, or family member in need and would give the shirt off his back for someone.

As a young man, Roland enjoyed skating, skateboarding, and surfing. He loved listening to music of all genres and was always grooving to his favorite tunes. His barbequing skills were unparalleled and would draw those closer to inquire what that exquisite smell was. He was master of many trades and could fix almost anything. Roland was a loving and caring individual whom we all adored.
