He was a 2004 graduate of Rogers High School and a valued member of the Rogers Mounties football team, winning "The Fighting Heart” award. A true athlete, he was also a cage fighter in the Mixed Martial Arts. He was known as “Da Truth” because he brought “truth” to the cage.

Roland was passionate about assisting the Marshallese community and worked in the Rogers School District as an interpreter for Marshallese children and their families. He worked with War Eagle Camp to recruit Marshallese children and loved serving in the early childhood ministry for Mosaic at Fellowship Bible Church.
Roland was a supportive husband and a loving and caring father that led his family faithfully to the Lord. He was an active member of Mosaic at Fellowship Bible Church. He was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, always trusting and never wavered throughout his courageous win against Leukemia.
