From Kathy Pierce:
Roland was a wonderful person. I had the pleasure of getting to know him when we served together in the Singles Program in St. George. It was never a dull moment when Roland was around.
We continued a great friendship when he moved to Kanab. He bought property in Deer Springs Ranch. He made many friends there with the Deer Springs Ranch family.
It was wonderful to see the home he and Missy built in Johnson Canyon. They loved that home.
I will miss him. Roland you served your life well!

Many of us in Kanab will miss Roland. He and Missy touched many lives in such a positive way. We will never drive up Johnson Canyon and passed the ranch without remembering them.
From Alec Ryan Arave:
Grandpa Roland was an amazing Grandfather that I hold many fond memories with. I remember all the times that he would come and stay the night at our house when I was still a small kid and he would always be so loving and kind to me and my two sisters. Every morning he was at our house he would get everybody up early and he would take us all to go get a McDonald’s breakfast and have an amazing time with us grandkids. Grandpa Roland was always trying to encourage the best out of me even though I was a very reserved kid. The only regret I have in our time together is that there wasn’t more of it. Grandpa will be loved and missed by so many people.
