Stephen L. Roach

Never forgotten.

I migrated to the Bahamas in 1999. I attended Maranatha SDA church when I met pastor Roach who was the pastor of Maranatha at that time. I spoke to him saying "I would like to go to study." I myself, I wanted to go back to Haiti to study, but for him he saw Jamaica would be better for. I wanted to go for teaching or computer science, but for him-Pastor H. A. Roach, he saw me in ministry. .

I hope that you are enjoying the view!

As I read his story online, I imagined his children grown, their joys forever tempered by their loss. To all of Steve's family, please know that his memory is a blessing to strangers like me who lovingly touch the letters of his name engraved in the granite memorial. Steve continues to inspire us to live...

Hope the family is all well. Miss people like you, Roachie.

Not a day goes by we don't think about you Stephen

The days crawl by, while the years fly. I hope you are all doing well

I knew Steve through his work. I was a customer of Cantor. He came out to Chicago once and took me out for some drinks and dinner about a year before 9/11. I loved the guy. He talked so much about his wife and kids and he was just fun to be around. I even remember him telling some stories about his father in-law. I think of him often, but especially today.
