Former President of Bahamas Conference Passes Away

It is with sadness that the South Bahamas Conference of Seventh-day Adventists announces the death of Dr. Hugh  A. Roach. Pastor Roach served the church faithfully for more than 50 years of active service in many capacities including President of the Bahamas Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Publishing Director, Pastor and Principal of Bahamas Academy School. He was also revered in the wider community as an activist for justice, a nation builder and adviser to government leaders. Pastor Roach has served the Commonwealth of the Bahamas as a member of the national drug council and most recently, Chaplain for the House of Assembly. He lived a full life and would be fondly remembered by all who had the opportunity to interact with him. We convey heartfelt condolences and sympathies to his wife Olga, his children Hubert and Opal and the extended family. Be assured of our prayers and support during your time of sorrow.
