Roman is also survived by his grandparents Jenny (McPherson) Maddox, Paula (Dzanaji) Daugherty, Sheree (Brim) Gibbs, Larry Fox and many Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents Daniel Daugherty Jr., Dennis Goggins, and James “Chubbs” Gibbs, as well as his great-grandparents June and David McPherson and Paul and Shirley Brim.
Funeral arrangements will be private. A celebration of Roman’s life will be announced at a later date. In honor of his memory, contributions may be made to organizations dedicated to suicide prevention.
Roman will be remembered for his warmth, creativity, and the love he shared with those who knew him.
