"The Life of a Faithful Servant of Jesus Christ" Nathaniel Allen Roach entered into eternal rest on June 4th, 2022 surrounded by loved ones at the Medstar Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, Md.

He enjoyed reading his bible, continuously talking about the Lord, giving Godly and biblical advice, traveling around to the local stores on his scooter, watching Western's, and laughing. Who could forget his contagious, unforgettable, and distinctive laugh? He enjoyed sitting out on his porch talking to friends and neighbors.
