Charles Patrick Roach

Patrick was born and raised in Los Angeles to parents, John and Helen. He served his country in Vietnam, and later graduated college with a bachelor’s degree. He married Arlene in 1970 and became a father to Mark, Ryan, and Sean. He lived a full and vibrant life filled with cherished moments alongside family and friends, delighted in traveling, fishing, and creating lasting memories. Both Patrick and Arlene brought joy to many while entertaining on their boat, Moor Fun, enjoying many trips to Catalina. He worked endlessly through various law enforcement roles including a bodyguard for various celebrities during the 80’s, taking pride in discipline and the importance of “listening and following directions.”

In his later years, Patrick faced significant health challenges through a difficult journey met with unwavering family support. His oldest son, Mark went above and beyond, securing the finest medical care and researching top-tier living facilities to ensure his comfort and care. Ryan and Sean stood by by their dad, offering love and strength throughout. Patrick’s siblings walked this path alongside him, with special gratitude to his brother Mike and niece Lori (daughter of Mike and Charlotte), who lived closest and visited frequently, always lifting his spirits with their presence and care.

Patrick will be remembered as the wonderful man who graced so many lives with kindness, humor, and adventure. His family finds comfort in knowing his legacy endures through the hearts he touched and the memories that will forever bring smiles amid the tears.

He is now in a better place, free from struggle.

Patrick is survived by his ex-wife, Arlene and devoted sons with their significant others: Mark (Paula), Ryan (Yesenia), Sean (Lindsey); and siblings: Terri, Mike, Tom, Beverly, Anne and grandchildren Parker, Sarah, Xander, and Wesley.
