Charles Darrell Roland
Charles Darrell Roland, age 62, of Dalton, Georgia, passed away Thursday, September 21, 2023, at Hamilton Medical Center.
He was preceded in death by his father Charles Roland. He was the executive pastor of Rock Bridge Community Church.
He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Sylvia Roland; his son, Shaun Roland; and his daughter, Tamra Roland. He is also survived by his parents, Carolyn and Eddie Powell; and his grandchildren, Lauryn Roland, Abby Roland, Jacob Roland and Brynlee Roland.
Darrell had a notable impact on congregations that he led in South Carolina, Ohio, Texas and Georgia. While he accomplished significant work in networking with and equipping other executive pastors across the country, he was most passionate about coaching and mentoring people, helping them navigate critical points in life. He loved traveling with his wife, cheering on the Clemson Tigers with his daughter and trying new things and watching sports with his son.
While all of these things brought him great joy, his deepest joy was in knowing and following Jesus. He was a faithful friend, a loving husband and father, and an incredible man of God who will be greatly missed.
