He also leaves his mother Betty Roubal and sister Roxanne Gillespie of Eugene, Oregon, and brothers Jeff Roubal of Martinez, California and Greg Roubal of Hua Hin, Thailand, along with many nieces, nephews, and loving extended family members. His funeral mass will be celebrated on Tuesday evening, February 23, at Holy Cross Catholic Church (126 High Street) in Santa Cruz, beginning at 7 p.m. The committal ceremony will be private.
