Still thinking of you often.  I started calling my mom "lady" in your honor.  :).

Roman, we will think of you often and keep an extra seat for Thanksgiving and Cowboy games. Rest in power.

Rest in peace our golfing buddy. Roman was a fine golfer and a generous sole. Lord be with his family in this season of sorrow.

Oh, the fun we had on our trips to the coast, brunches after church on Sundays and snow  skiing.  Kellie will never forget Roman daring her to eat a cup of jalapeños and when she dared him back, he said, “Are you crazy,  I’d never do that!”  Jodi  remembers Roman always making her laugh!”   We were amazed when Roman talked his mom into building a skateboard ramp and pipe in the backyard!  He  was always up for trying new adventures and he had a magnetic personality. 
Roman grew up to be a fine young man and he knew he was #1 in his mother’s heart💙

We will miss Roman!  He was always smiling and always funny.  Many hilarious memories over the years with him.  He will be missed. - Adrian & Misty Spears

My sincere thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Roman was such a special person, with exceptional intelligence and a caring heart. I’m thankful for the good times and memories. 

So long my friend! May you rest in peace, you will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Roman was one of a kind...generous in time, spirit, humor, love and material things.  I will truly miss him.  He was a trusted friend and I relied on him to tell him anything in confidence, without judgment.  He had a unique ability to empathize and make me laugh in situations or circumstances that were causing me grief.  Now I grieve his loss because there is not another like him.  I will not forget our unique friendship, nor your forgiving and generous spirit.

I remember being at Bradley middle school with my two best friends Laurie Kemp and Ashley Hall and going over to  Roman house because him and his skater friends building a half pipe in his back yard we were there every day after school watching them build it till they finished and me and my besties painted it.  It was such a joy watching them make it but even more watching the skate it every day after school.  I remember that was the highlight of my day being able to go to Roman’s house to watch him and his friends Leo Salinas, Edward Donahue, Don Goodman and Mike David skate the half pipe they built.  Great memories.

I am so sad to hear of Roman’s passing and I hope he went peacefully. I remember Roman from our teenage years. We had the same group of friends and I adored him- in the most playful, brotherly way. He was smart and witty, and I was always happy when our paths crossed. I can still hear his voice saying “dude” that always made me laugh. I remember laughing a lot around him. I saw him later when he lived in a condo as an early twenty- something ish adult and it was just exactly the same. I always wanted to hang out MORE! I’m grateful to have had him in our growing up years and hope his adult life was good to him. He is and will always be beloved by me, and our friends that I know felt exactly the same. Rest in peace, dear friend.
