Alfred Roane

        Alfred Roane departed this life on February 19, 2025. A devoted family man, Alfred was deeply cherished by his loved ones. He was a father, grandfather, uncle, and friend who was always ready to lend a helping hand and share a listening ear. His compassionate nature and sense of humor will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

        Alfred enjoyed a career at Virginia Log Company, where he was well-respected for his hard work, dedication, and integrity. He retired in 2002 after working there for thirty-five years. Outside of his professional life, he had a passion for cycling and completed his longest ride of 65 miles at age 85. The man downtown enjoyed stirring up his chat circle during their daily calls.  He also enjoyed traveling and made sure he got pictures on his digital camera to share with his family and friends.
