JP Roland's Family Needs Your Support and Love
Donation protected
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved JP Roland — affectionately known to many as “Shug” or simply “Roland.” He was a bright light in all of our lives, known for his infectious smile, vibrant energy, and the joy he brought to every room he entered.
In November of 2024, Roland faced a difficult chapter as the cancer he had once bravely overcome returned with greater aggression. This time, the fight was harder. The illness began to take a toll on his mobility, his ability to enjoy food and drink, and eventually, his overall quality of life. For someone as full of life and movement as Roland, it was a heartbreaking change — but through it all, his strength and spirit remained.
On April 8th, 2025, Roland passed peacefully at home, surrounded by the love of his family. While we are heartbroken by his loss, we are also deeply grateful for the moments we shared with him and the memories that will live on in each of us.
At this time, we humbly ask for any support you can offer. Your generosity means the world as we navigate this difficult time.
With love and appreciation,
Family of JP Roland
