Obituary

Rolando R. Gamboa, age 59 of Grand Forks, ND passed away on Friday, March 1, 2024 at his home with his wife.

Rolando Rios Gamboa was born on July 22, 1964 in Grand Forks, ND, the son of Armando and Guadalupe (Rios) Gamboa.  Rolando grew up and attended school in East Grand Forks and graduated from East Grand Forks Senior High School.  He attended MSU in Crookston shortly after opening his own restaurant in East Grand Forks "Rollie's".  He then worked for many years at UND as a Boiler Operator before working at the North Dakota Mill where he saved money to open his own company "Property Pros Precision LLC", which he founded by himself in 2017.  He was very proud and treated his clients like family.  He donated a lot of his time to the community and helped a lot of people struggling with jobs.  He met his loving wife and best friend, Brittany Knoff Bryant in 2020.  They were married in 2022 and lovingly stayed by his side until his final journey.

Rollie was very close to his brothers and sisters.  There was nothing they wouldn't do for each other.  Rollie was a very proud father and grandfather as well as great-grandfather.  He loved to pass on his knowledge to them and tell them great stories or anyone that would listen.  Rollie was loved by everyone who met him and he loved everyone and he tried hard always to help everyone.

Rolando was preceded in death by his parents, Armando and Guadalupe Gamboa and a brother Joseph Gamboa.

Rollie is survived by his wife Brittany Gamboa; children, Desaree and John Denoyer, Savannah Ferguson, Dustin Srnsky and Christian Gamboa; stepdaughters, Samantha Jacquemart, Jordan Bryant; grandchildren, Kiana, Alicia, Jiselle, Aayla, Shani, Drayden, Michael and Isla with 2 on the way; great-grandchildren, Josiah and Alonzo; siblings, Diana (Mike) Baird, Elizabeth (Brian) Lipsh, Robert Gamboa, Edward Gamboa and Michael Gamboa, along with many nieces and nephews.
