Not sure what to say?

I am quite late to adding to this as I have not known what to say. I met Roan through camp, he was someone who I had always looked up to and I refused to believe the news when I heard it. At camp we have a ceremony called the 5 year club, in said ceremony everyone who is initiated gets to choose an "elder brother". An "elder brother" is someone who speaks on the initiates behalf. Roan was going to be my "elder brother", my year at camp this past summer was extremely tough without him. I am...

Roan was my cousin and I’m the sibling to Riley smith and he was honestly my favorite cousin and this year for thanksgiving is going to be hard for me because every year we would play football with each other and so going to thanksgiving this year knowing he won’t be coming is really sad. Rip Roan

Roan and I worked together at camp, and his absence has cast a darkness over my life. I regret not taking the opportunities I was given to get to know him better when I had the chance to. I remember he made a lasting positive impact on me this past summer. During a random staff training exercise at the beginning of camp, we paired ourselves up with people we didn't know well. Roan and I chose each other because we didn't know each other well. The task was to walk together for awhile and ask...

Roan was my cousin and this is a photo of him that I have, I hope this helps anyone who wants to see him smile again

I am a part of Roans family and I remember going to his funeral and hearing the song 'Godspeed' by Frank ocean and when I hear it, I think of himI miss him so much and I wish he didnt pass away, rip my dear

Roan was my cousin and everytime I saw him, he made me and my family laugh and smile, he had the greatest personality and he was the kindest person. I will always remember his warm smile. Roan taught me leadership and to always be my best self. Anytime someone talks about baseball, I think of roan and his passion for it, he loved prospect park dearly and given that he lived across from it, he went there nearly everyday. I wish he was still here, I miss him more than anything and I will always...

I met Roan through camp. This past summer, one day when it was raining, I was sitting on admin porch reading a book when I overheard Roan tell someone he wanted to slide down the hill. Then I watched him sprint towards the hill and slide almost 10 feet. On the last night, he joined our cabin for cabin chat. Roan was always smiling. I'm going to miss him. Camp won't be the same without him. Rest in peace Roan.
