Age 71, a resident of Morrow, Arkansas, passed away on November 7, 2025 at his home.

Steve is survived by his daughter Larrissa Huff, his son Steve Roach II and his wife Jodi Redfeather, four grandchildren Haley Blasingame, Dustin Fletcher, Sara Redfeather and Tara Redfeather, six great grandchildren, his sister Pauline Bumgarner and brothers Bill Roach and Bobby Roach, his ex-wife Darlene Roach, and close personal friend Charlene Lewis.

He was preceded in death by his parents Jerry and Mayda Roach, brothers Ed Roach and Randy Roach.

Steve was a proud veteran having served in the United States Army and a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. He admired classic cars, from the complicated engines to the intricate paint work, made a living as an auto body repairman and helped to build or paint several off-road rigs. As an outdoor enthusiast, it was rare to find him in the house, but if you did, he was probably watching an old western or mountain man movie. He much preferred trail riding, hunting, fishing, and cooking on the grill for friends and family.

Many nights were spent at back porch concerts listening to Haley sing or someone picking on a guitar. Like gravity, friends were drawn to his welcoming, easygoing nature, unique words of wisdom and sense of humor. His place was always where people would regularly gather together becoming known as the Friday Night Intelligence Center where a lively discussion was always in full swing and you could hear the laughter before you ever opened the door. WOW! Just wow.

Memorial service will be held Tuesday, November 18, 2025 - 2:00 P.M. at Luginbuel Chapel in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. Burial will be in Antioch Cemetery, there will be no graveside service held.
