I just found out about Roland's passing.

Devastating; A good man; at first I though he was arrgogant but soon realized it was confidence and self assuredness. He was a gentleman and never observed a mean spirited bone in his body.

I will miss him - he was a good lawyer and a good example to all lawyers on how to comport themselves.

Blessings to his family - very sorry for his passing

We were clients of Mr. Esparza for a little more than 10 years. He helped us through so many things, most recently he helped keep us in our home. His work for us was nothing short of amazing. Thank you Mr. Esparza, May you rest in eternal peace. Our condolences to the family may the Lord Bless you all.

Roland was a good neighbor. We will miss seeing him out and about on dog walks and for chats in the cul-de-sac. Our condolences to Amanda and the family.

My condolences to the Esparza family. Roland , and Bobby Sanchez were dear friends from St Ann's, and there after. Roland was a kind, and gentle soul, and an amazing baseball player. God bless the family, and strength to Ms. Esparza, and Letty. May perpetual light shine upon Roland.
