Michael "Mike" Brian "Rocky" Roche

To All The Roache Family,
I just heard of Mike's death at Mass as Fr. Ray Klees featured Mike's life story in his Sunday homily. My condolences to all of you. Mike and I were fellow ND grads, litigators, and long-time competitors in the Grant Park 16-inch Lawyers' Softball League. I was present the night he was carted to the hospital with a softball career-ending injury and continued to play against his Schuyler Roche team, which featured another fellow ND grad Terry Leonard, until my...

I didn't know Mike but after seeing his story on the news, I felt compelled to learn more about this amazing man. What a selfless and kind act he did in helping the homeless. May his memories be a blessing, I certainly won't forget his story.

I only heard about this when my Brother Bill mentioned it as having come a friend of his. So sorry to read this This is a lot to take in may fond memories ease the grief .

Michael, Kevin and Molly,
We were deeply saddened to hear about your Mom and now your Dad. We have such fond memories of your family at the resort in Land O'Lakes. Lots of great times were spent in conversations. Larry always enjoyed talking about ND sports. The Bellarmine retreat at the end of January 2018 was very special. Larry will never forget Mike's talk to the retreatants. We pray that he and Kathy are having a great time in heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Roche...

My condolences to the Roche family. Too short a time here on earth.

Michael, Kevin and Maura

So very sorry at the loss of your Dad. He was a great man and a good friend to many. May he Rest In Peace

Dear Roche and McGuire Families,

May this Irish poem bring you comfort. Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and yet very dear. Mike B. has many legacies, but to me the one that stands out the most will always be his sense of humor. May those warm, funny, and touching memories bring you comfort during these trying times.

May you find comfort from the encouraging words found at 1THESSALONIANS 4:14

Dear Michael , Kevin and Molly,
So shocked and saddened to hear about both of your parents . I knew your special mom due to Saint Mary of the Woods College and when they moved into St Joan of Arc. I admired your dad tremendously. The neighborhood won't be the same.
I now live in Cincinnati and she would always keep me informed about mutual friends. God bless you and hang on to
all the precious memories!
