Roland Carl St. Germain, Jr., 55, of Londonderry, NH, died Thursday, August 12, 2021, in Parkland Medical Center, Derry, NH. He was born in Exeter, NH on September 24, 1965, a son of Roland, Sr. and Jeannine (Bellavance) St. Germain.

Roland had been a resident of Londonderry since 2011, previously residing in Barrington, NH.
He is survived by his loving wife of 17 years, Gwen (Gifford) St. Germain; daughter, Megan Jessica St. Germain, mother, Jeannine G. (Bellavance) St. Germain of Hampton, N.H.; three brothers, Robert T. St. Germain and his wife Linda of Englewood, FL., John R. St. Germain of Kittery, M.E., Donald A.

Roland (fondly referred to as Rollie) blazed his own path through life, without fear, both professionally and personally. He previously owned his own grand format printer consumable business, Armada Imaging and more recently was employed for over a decade by VHG Labs/LGC Standards Co., as a sales professional. He was a jet setter traveling the world for business and pleasure to destinations such as, Dubai, Venezuela, South Africa, India, Asia, and Australia. A honeymoon to Costa Rica, a trip to the Bahamas with family, a tenth anniversary to Belize with his wife, frequent trips to NYC with friends and a successful international business trip to Caracas with his brother-in-law, Doug are memories that will not soon be forgotten. He loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting, kayaking, skiing, gardening, growing mammoth pumpkins to compete in the Deerfield Fair, scuba diving, target shooting, ziplining, walking his dog, spending time at the beach, and reading. He looked forward to his annual trip in the White Mountains of NH with his long-time ski buddies.
Roland loved being active and spending time with his family, especially teaching his daughter and her friends, nieces and nephews how to fish. He loved participating in father/daughter activities with his beloved Megan and watching her participate in the Lancer Marching Band and Winter Percussion. Roland volunteered often and was someone who would do anything for his friends and his family. He was a long-term member and leader of the Southern New Hampshire Pathfinders, spending many hours fundraising and organizing a special father/daughter dance enjoyed by many. It would not be unlike Roland to donate blood to the American Red Cross, chaperone for the Londonderry MS Winter Sports Club or volunteer with his daughter’s Girl Scouts Troop helping them earn their Silver Award or tide pooling with the Coastal Rompers.
His sister Mary recalls that Roland shared his tackle for every kind of fresh and saltwater fish and has fond memories of Striper fishing, boating in the Piscataqua River, with the current faster than his boat motor could take them and cruising at his lake house in Barrington where he pulled anyone around who wanted to waterski. There will be many that will miss his friendship and his infectious smile.
