It is with great sadness that the Roche
family announces the sudden passing of Sean Edward Roche, on Sunday,
April 7, 2024, at age 51, at his home in Branch. Sean was a
beloved son, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin, and friend to
all.
In heaven, he will be
embraced by his father, Frederick Joseph Roche. Left to
mourn with broken hearts are his mother, Maureen Roche, brothers
Frederick (Tracy), Stephen, Peter (Joy), Edward (Kim), John Paul
(Vanessa) and sisters, Kim Careen (Gilbert) and Emily McGrath
(Bradley), his uncles and aunts of the Power and Roche families, his
many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Sean spent his younger years fishing
with his father, Freddie and later, pursued the fishery on larger
vessels in British Columbia. He went on to become a heavy
equipment operator, a career that gave him the opportunity to work all
over Canada and in more recent years brought him home to work in
NL. Sean was widely known in his field as one of the best
heavy equipment operators and always took great pride in his
work. Due to various health issues and challenges, Sean
spent the last few years living at home with his mother,
Maureen, who was totally devoted to him and gave him so much of the
support he needed. He loved his mother dearly and was so
grateful for all she did for him. He also enjoyed visits
from his friends and family but in particular, his nieces and
nephews.
Sean, known to many as the Friendly
Giant, will be remembered for his kind and gentle nature despite his
physical stature. His unique and hearty laugh could make
anyone laugh along with him. His nieces and nephews will
miss their many interactions with their Uncle Sean, who always had
time for a laugh or a smile. Nothing made Sean happier than visits
from his brothers and sisters whom he loved dearly. As well,
Sean had a huge circle of close, lifelong friends, too numerous to
mention, with whom he shared many happy memories of their escapades
together. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved
him.
Cremation has taken place.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, April 11, 2024 from 3 PM to 9 PM
with a prayer service at 7pm. Visitation will continue on
Friday, April 12, 2024 from 10 AM to 1 PM at Holy Rosary Church in
Branch. The Funeral Mass, celebrated by Father Jerome Hann, will take
place at Holy Rosary Church on Friday, April 12, 2024 at
2PM.
As expressions of sympathy, flowers are
gratefully accepted or a donation in Sean’s memory may be
made to a charity of one’s choice. Rest in peace,
Sean. Our family chain has been broken and life will never
be the same without you.
