Michael Roach

08/02/1957 - 04/30/2024

Michael gave his all to every endeavor that life sent his way. On April 8, 1977, he was wed to Leslie G "Louden" Roach. There is no way to truly explain all the ways in which Michael made the world a better place or how deeply he will be missed.
Michael worked for Griffith Rubber Mills in Portland, Ore., for 41 years as a heavy machinery maintenance mechanic. Michael, or Uncle Mike as he was known around the barn, was the biggest supporter of the horse rescue that his wife & daughter started back in the early 1990's, R&R New Options Equine.
Michael was preceded in death by his father Eugene Roach; and is survived by his mother Patricia Roach; wife Leslie Roach; daughter Christina Fabian, grandson Dominic Fabian; daughter Rachael W. Dumbrava; brother Kevin Roach; sister Marina Burnett; brother Nathan Roach; sister Alexandra Roach.
We will be celebrating Michael's time here on earth with friends and relatives on May 18, 2024, at his daughters' home. There will also be a private graveside service at Rose City Cemetery. On May 25, 2024, there will be a celebration of life with Michael's friends and extended family at R&R New options Equine.
Donations to R&R Equine New Options in his memory would be greatly appreciated.
