Timothy Roach Obituary
October 20, 2024
Timothy Jacob Roach, October 20 2024, 65, of Jamesville, passed away at his home after a long battle with cancer, to which he fought hard, never backing down from a fight. Born in Syracuse, he lived in Jamesville for the past 29 years. He previously attended Henninger High School in Syracuse. A career tradesman, Tim worked as a third-generation welder for over 40 years, as well as excelling with numerous other trades and skills. He was a dedicated participant with the local motorcycle community, as well as supporting many humanitarian causes, especially those relating to veterans advocacy and cancer research. Tim was always the naturalist, enjoying many hours tending to his garden and he had a love for animals, especially his own. Amongst all this, Tim's true pride was his family. A selfless husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend.
