Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Michael Leon Roach, 69, of Salisbury, passed away Wednesday, November 5, 2025 at his home surrounded by his family, after a four year battle with cancer.
He was born July 30, 1956 in Concord, NC to Kenneth and Betty Morgan Roach. Mike worked for Thomas Grading in Harrisburg for 20 years where he was a heavy equipment operator. He loved his work but most of all he loved his family.
Mike was a great husband and father, and was loved by so many people, but he loved the beach and fishing.
In addition to his parents, Mike was preceded in death by his first wife, Peggy Roach.
Michael is survived by his wife, Tammy Roach; step-sons, David Osborne and wife Regina, William Osborne and Jake Kendrick; two brothers, Jeff and Nan Roach, Jody and Crystal Roach; sister, Diane Larkin; eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren; nine nieces and nephews, four great nieces and nephews.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date at Eastside Freewill Baptist Church in Concord.
