Kelly Douglas Roach was born in Dallas, Texas on December 18, 1967, to
Paul Roach and Susan Alexander. He grew up in Carrollton, Texas and
graduated from Baylor University in 1989. But if you knew Kelly, you
know he didn't feel at home until he moved to Nashville in 1993 and
married Karin Olson, whom he greatly loved, on August 16, 2003. And if
you knew Kelly, then you know he loved well. He loved to write, play,
and record music. He loved to eat well and play well. He loved to share
a good story, a good show, a good sporting match, and a good beer. Most
of all, he loved people. Kelly loved to listen to your story, no matter
how long it took to tell it. He loved to listen, laugh, cry, and pray
with you. He loved to dig deep into Scripture, not just for the sake of
his own soul, but so he could share it with you for the sake of your
soul. To know that Kelly loved you was to experience a little bit that
Jesus loves you. Kelly loved well, and he was loved well. His sudden
passing on February 25, 2016, has broken our hearts, but has also
prompted messages of love from calls, texts, emails and posts from
literally all over the world. In addition to his parents he is survived
by his wife, Karin Olson Roach of Nashville, whom he married August 16,
2003; half sister, Lyric Rayann Roach of Texas; step sister, Stephanie
(Craig) Miller of Georgia; step mother, Judi Roach; and mother and
father-in-law, John and Maggie Olson of Columbia. Pallbearers will be
Patrick Alphonso, Chris Cummins, Nolan Lucas, Brian Buterbaugh,
Armistead Grandstaff, Tony Weeks, Bill Davis, Mark Keefer, and Rex
Moxley. |
