Roland Pacheco Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 18, 2001.
A Wedding That Wasn't
Roland Pacheco's pickup line when he met Annie Guerrero eight years ago was, "What's the matter with you?"

He asked it softly, but it was still a bold question to ask a stranger. They were both teenagers hanging out with their respective groups of friends when he spied her hanging back on a bustling corner a couple of blocks away from Washington Square Park.

"Nothing," Ms. Guerrero recalled saying. "I'm just tired. And we just started talking."

The meeting sparked a fine romance. Now, eight years later, they were engaged to be married and have a 2 1/2-year-old son, Ryan.

Mr. Pacheco, 26, was a pretty good catch, Ms. Guerrero said. He was an employee of Alliance Consulting on the 102nd floor of 1 World Trade Center. Ms. Guerrero is disconsolate that there will never be a wedding. They had other plans: they were going to open a lounge together on the West Side.

"He was so outgoing and happy," Ms. Guerrero said. "I wish he had gone in later."

Hey Roland,
Its been about twelve years since your ascension to paradise. As Promised I came to see you where you were laid rest at the 9/11 memorial. I lived in Florida during that time and kept you, and your family in my thoughts. You remember when you asked me "how do you know if a person made it in life?" Well my friend you passed with flying colors. For Annie and Ryan I know that both of you are very special and Roland spoke of you in our talks always. He mentioned constantly that he wanted for your every success in life. Your happiness was his focus and never did he sway from it. Roland presence has been felt in many of the people he touched over the years. We shared a camaraderie and he was as much my peer as I was his. I wish your family every happiness and peace for the coming years. Be well.

My Dear Roland I went to see you at the memorial today i prayed that you were in the grace and comfort of God, that when Dinah or your mom or brothers are hurting that you shine your smile down on them. I saw your mom a few months ago and although her pain is ever present she speaks your name with so much love and pride. we miss you Roland. I remember bumping into you downtown few weeks before this terrible tragedy and you gave me the biggest hug. i cherish that moment and i thank you for being my friend. love you always

Well cuz it's been 10 years. I still remeber you as the quiet little boy in a clan of 5. Hard to believe but true. I can honestly say this because I took care of you and your brothers when you were little. From the time you were born you brightened up every room with your smile. I am your cousin Cookie, my parents Roger and Vicky are your god parents. We all miss you a great deal. But dont get me wrong we smile when we remember you. I know the good lord has you watching out for those who honestly loved and continue to love you.

Rolando, I did not personally know you, but for me one of the most poignant moments from 9/11 was seeing your girlfriend on the news with the flyer of you and your little boy asking, " have you seen my daddy" just broke my heart. May your son, girlfriend, and family find solace and comfort in knowing that you are still watching over them. May peace be with all your family and friends.

Dear Roland, we're all assembled
We've come to honor you
To share sweet recollections
And express our gratitude
You were a great example
Of the best way one can live
Your generous, loving spirit
Was a daily gift you chose to give
And we knew that we were privileged
To know someone so dear
You shared our lives, both the good and bad.
Our true friend throughout the years
You took each day and challenge
Exactly as it came...

I did not know him , but I was reading the tributes in conjuction w/ the horrible anniversary coming up. I saw the tragedies on my tv in kansas city that day. I just want to express my condolences and hopes for yourselves. Since that time, I became a mom and therefore I am really touched even more by the children left behind. So I merely wish to express my hope and prayers that his child is doing well 10 yrs later. That's all. God Bless all of you.

Dear Roland, I looked at the news to watch and pay my respect for the lost. I was placing something in my closet with my back turned from the tv, and then I heard it. They said your name.. I turned quickly and there was your face. I ran to the computer to look. And this page is what I found. I was in shock. I sat and then started remembering our days in Jr. High School in Brooklyn. I was so scared to go to that school in Fort Greene area. We were 12yrs old. Then I had to change school. It was a sad day for both of us. We said our Good Bye and remained friends. We would see each other on the street and you introduced me to your Dad. I always wondered if I would ever see you again when I went to Park Slope. But I guess my answer came today... I am so sorry I did not know you were one of the Victims in 9/11. I keep a lot of funny memories of us. I am glad to have known you and glad that I made you smile. Sorry you had to leave so soon, you were engaged and had a family. God continue Blessing your family. Dear Roland, Sorry I did not know. Good Bye dear friend. From your friend, Tionna

Roland, I woke up with thoughts of you and your family today. I remember the stories you shared with me about them. I remember the day you brought the kids to work for the Xmas party - they were so young. I wish you were around to see them grow, to help them become great people. Be confident that Annie is doing a great job at it. I know that you are by their side at all times - because that is just the kind of guy you are. Rest in peace, my friend. You are missed.

THIS YEAR WAS DIFFERENT TO SAY THE LEAST... OUR SON CRIED THE MINUTE WE STOOD IN FRONT OF THE WALL. CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SEE HIM DO THAT. I TOLD HIM THAT YOU WOULD ALWAYS BE WITH HIM.. THAT YOU LIVED BY OUR SIDE IN MUCH HAPPINESS AND THAT WE GOT TO SHARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF YOU BEFORE YOU HAD TO LEAVE US. I PROMISED YOU YEARS AGO THAT I WOULD MAKE SURE THAT OUR SON KNEW HOW GREAT YOU WERE HOW SENSITIVE AND LOVING AND I DO THAT AS MUCH AS I CAN. HE KNOWS HIS DAD WAS SPECIAL AND THIS YEAR OUR SON WAS OLD ENOUGH TO REALIZE WHAT WE LOST ON THAT HORRIBLE DAY... A HURT SOUL ONE DAY TOLD ME THAT PEOPLE GOT NOTHING AND I GOT EVERYTHING. IF RAISING YOUR SON IS EVERYTHING WELL THAN I THANK GOD FOR THE GIFT!!! JOHANNA MISSES YOU AS WELL AND SHE IS SO BIG AND GROWN UP I KNOW YOU WOULD HAVE ENJOYED THIS AGE... WE MISS U ROLAND AND HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU LIVE NEXT TO US EVERYDAY!!

It's been a while, almost 8 years since your passing and memories of you in my mind are still clear as day. We(friends & family)still gather at the park (38's) every 9/11 we light candles and pray in honor of your memory, your presence is felt, so inside I know you're okay. Heard a song on the radio tonight that reminded me of you and that day when we laid you to rest, it was hard losing you, you were one of the good ones, the best. I thank you for your friendship, kindness, and all the laughter and great memories shared, it's impossible to not wonder what if your life had been spared. I feel comfort in knowing that you are in a better place and it's just a matter of time until I see your face again, waiting by heaven's gate.

God Bless you Roland.

May 14, 2009

Hi Roland, It's been a long time since I haven't written to you but I know that you are watching over your kids I just could imagine how big they are. Everytime I see Rodney I always ask for for them and how they are doing. I know you are a special angel that's always by our side giving us a sign that you are always there to guide us. Until next time. Miss you dearly and everyday.

Love jessie
Always in our hearts.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Hi Roland Hi Annie!
You are always on my mind, so on the eleventh i posted a message,which was rejected by the web site it was a poem i got from a obituary, and i din't know who wrote it.I wanted to share it with you because it was true. "I am Free", and free you are Roland. Today again you are on my mind.
Roland i am just amazed at how you loved. Some of us go through life, and we love, but never a love that last even after death. Annie probably feels you near her all the time , she probably even talks to you. You are always at Rian's, and Johanna's side. You are always there.
From the day i met you i though you were amazing. A very special soul that God send to make the world a better place.You did just that at time when Annie, and Johanna needed you the most.
Your Sun Set came, and you left another soul in its place your son. He is just like you. So brother your legacy continues, and as your soul travels through the channels it must rest assure that your son has taken your place on earth to better all of our lives. I love you! Adriana
ps. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! it's comming

I love and miss you dearly. I know you Annie, as little as you may be,you are as strong as an ox!

JohnBoy, Miriam, Jordan, Papu & Mama Savinon

September 11, 2008

Roland, on this day we always feel so much pain and loss. We always talk about you and remember what a great friend you are and how much a part of the family you really were. We always keep your family in our thoughts, Anne, Ryan and Joanna, we miss seeing you and hearing from you. Jordan and Papu are so big now and we wish we could see you guys more often. Roland, keep all of our kids in your sight....you are our ANGEL. Boy misses you more than you can imagine - and he knows you still got this back!!! Mama misses her son...she loved you so much - She always visits you and even takes Jordan...so when we pass a Cemetery, Jordan always say, "Mom, my Tio lives there" !!!

Light a candle for those we mourn.

Into a new life they will be born.

Do not look for them at the gravesite.

They are somewhere else radiating their beautiful light.

They have gone to a new world where there is no darkness, no pain.

Their light and essence will always remain.

Light a candle for those who have left this mortal place.

They are free to travel through time and space.

When we think of them, they are near.

When we sit in a beautiful garden. Their voices we hear.

When we listen to a divine symphony,

We close our eyes, their faces we see.

Light a candle for they have not really gone.

With each flickering flame, in your hearts they will always belong.

Hey Roland, Its me Nilsa. Just thinking of you.. May you rest in Peace. You will always be remembered..

Roland, you are dearly missed. I am a teacher now...this morning the principal played clips of news reports as the events of 911 unfolded. It was followed by the national anthem. The entire school was silent for many minutes. I spoke of you to my students; I told them I lost a friend. I cried...just like last year and the year before, and the year before that. I thought of you and prayed for you and your family. I hope you are at peace.
