Aaron Michael Roach known as “Roach”, 52, of LaFollette

Aaron Michael Roach known as “Roach” , 52, of LaFollette, Tennessee, passed away on November 5, 2025.

Michael was dedicated in everything he did and a devoted provider for his family. He was also the kind of friend everyone hopes to have—loyal, genuine, and always there when you needed him. Known for his selflessness and deep gratitude for those around him. He touched everyone he met with his kind heart, humor, and reliability. He found joy in simple moments—whether casting a line while fishing, building something with his hands, or spending time with those he loved most.

He cherished every moment with his wife, and his greatest pride and joy were his children and grandchildren. Michael’s love for his family was evident in everything he did, and his steady presence and warm spirit will be forever missed.

Michael’s legacy of hard work, love, and compassion will live on through all who knew him.

“When we leave this world, we leave behind only what we have given; love, kindness, and memories. And someday, those we love will find us again where there is no more parting.”
