Kelly Roach
October 10, 1958 — December 21, 2024
Kelly Roach
Kelly Ryan Roach Sr., born in 1958 in Missouri, passed away peacefully on December 21st, 2024, at his home in Springfield, MO, surrounded by the love of his loyal dog, Moose.
Kelly moved to Arizona at the tender age of 4, where he grew up in and around Mesa. He grew up with his mom Joyce Hill, his sisters Sherry and Chrissy, and brother Daniel. He attended Westwood High School, though he left just before finishing. Throughout his life, Kelly demonstrated resilience and adaptability, navigating through two marriages and a brief period of incarceration. He overcame addiction to alcohol at this time and never touched another drop of alcohol again. His life took a significant turn when he met Lori Losee in 1998, a partnership that blossomed into a deep and enduring love. Despite the challenges, Kelly embraced the role of a father with open arms, raising another man’s child as his own, Dani.
On April 21st, 2001, Kelly and Lori married, solidifying their bond just months before welcoming their second child, Kj, Kelly Junior. Kelly was a dedicated and hardworking man, skilled in plumbing and various trades, always ensuring his family was well cared for. His determination and love were evident in every aspect of his life.
He spent years make shifting different zip lines, forts, and even a small little cabin in our backyard to make his children happy. And He would come at the drop of a dime if you needed something. One thing about him was that he would laugh at his own jokes which would make whatever joke he made(or tried to make) that much funnier.
In 2021, the family faced profound loss with the passing of Kj, which led Kelly and Lori to move to Missouri in January 2022. Despite battling heart issues, including a heart attack and heart failure that started in July of 2021, Kelly remained strong.
Kelly's legacy is one of love, resilience, stubbornness and unwavering dedication to his family. He is survived by his beloved wife, Lori, his daughter Dani, and his loyal dog, Moose and his other fur baby Blue . Kelly's memory will forever be cherished by those who knew and loved him.
"Stay Golden, we will meet again."
