Michael (Mike) D. Roche, 58, of Nashua, NH, passed away peacefully on February 13, 2021. Born in Winchester, MA on August 4, 1962, he was the son of the late Thomas and Constance (Cahalin) Roche. Mike was raised in Woburn, MA and raised his family in Westford, MA.
Mike went to work in the family business, “Roche Bros Barrel & Drum Co” in Lowell, MA which was established in 1919. Mike loved adventure, boating in Newburyport, taking his motorcycle out and the occasional golf game. He cared greatly for his friends and family. Mike’s wise-guy humor and big heart will be missed by all. He lived life on his own terms and certainly was a ‘barrel of fun’. May he rest in peace.
He is survived by his son Michael, Jr, daughters Amanda, Kaitlin and Diana; Diana Dimatteo with whom he shared a wonderful 20 years of marriage, and his cherished grandchildren Landon, Anthony, Sunny and Charlie and many loving nieces, nephews, and friends. He leaves behind 1 brother, Tom and his wife Natalie, and 2 sisters Amy and her husband Mike, Julie and her husband Cam. He is predeceased by his brother Kevin and his wife Elisa.
SERVICES: In accordance with Mike’s wishes he was cremated and a private memorial to celebrate his life will be held at a later date when it is safe to do so.
