He is survived by his loving wife of 22 years, his step-children, and his grandchildren.
Roland attended Bays High School and served in the Navy in 1974. He made life-long friends and fond memories. He was known for his quick wit, infectious laughter, and love of shooting pool. Although Roland is no longer with us, his spirit will live on in our hearts.
He was predeceased by Melvina Fields, Elise White, and Nathaniel White.
Survived by his loving wife of 22 years, Linda White; sister, Verneda Cherry; brother, Melvin White; brother-in-law, Wilbur Chapman; and aunt, Jean Chappell-Bridgess.
Lovingly remembered by his step-children, grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, great nieces, and cousins.
Though your smile is gone forever and your hand I cannot touch, I still have many memories of the one I love so much. Your memory is our keepsake with which we'll never part. God has you in his keeping; we have you in our hearts.
