Roland L. St. Onge Jr.

COLEBROOK – Roland L. St. Onge, Jr., 60, of Colebrook, passed away at his home on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023, with his son and daughter at his side, and after a years-long struggle with multiple schlerosis. He was born in Manchester, N.H., on July 22, 1963, a son to the late Roland L. and Pauline M. (Chaput) St. Onge, Sr. Roland grew up in Goffstown and went to work helping his father in the family septic business at a young age. He worked there for several years and then moved to the north country where he worked as a truck driver for Eddie Nash for several years. He later began his own excavation company which he ran until his health no longer allowed him to do so. His life’s passion was deer hunting, and he has numerous trophy bucks to prove it. He was an adventurous person who did not let his health or developing disability get him down. He was a very social person who loved to be with his friends and family. He enjoyed street stock race car driving, which he did for many years at the Lee, N.H., speedway, and he loved to be around, build, and tinker with mud trucks. In his later years, Roland cherished his young grandchildren and they provided him with just as much love. He will be remembered by all his friends and family as a witty, smart, funny and unapologetic wise-cracker. He is survived by his two children, Shelby St. Onge of Columbia, and Sawyer St. Onge of Weare, N.H.; his siblings, Roger (Renee) St. Onge of Dunbarton, N.H., Robert (Monica) St. Onge of Weare, Rick (Mindy) St. Onge of Francestown, N.H., Anita Day of Goffstown, Doris (Ray) Gamache of Goffstown, Lorraine (Josh) Solomon of Goffstown, and Janet Gagnon of Manchester; and his three grandchildren, Maverick St. Onge, Gunner Rogers, and Teagan St. Onge. In addition to his parents, Roland is predeceased by his brother, Raymond St. Onge. Memorial calling hours will be held at the Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook on Friday, Sept. 29, 2023, from 5 to 7 p.m. A graveside interment service will occur at a later date in the Mt. Calvary Cemetery in Manchester. Condolences may be offered on-line by going to www.jenkinsnewman.com. Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook.
