Roshii was one of the toughest kid's in the gym,and very likable,my family and I consider him one of the family and alway's will.I had the honor of not only coaching him,but being his friend.He would plow through whoever got in the ring with him,total domination.He was a champ in and out of the ring,it's no wonder he advanced as far as he did.I remember one year ,we had taken him to the junior olympic's in San Antonio where he [of course] made it to the final's.Anyway he had lost his mouth piece which is a no-no.because keeping your gear together is part of being discipline,anyway Martin Ortiz his head coach got on him about ,almost bringing him to tear's.When he got into the ring to fight for the gold,against a real tough kid Roshii gave that boy such a whipping,the ref. was'nt even safe in there,needless to say he won the gold..which is what Roshii was made of.I still have video of some of his fight's.You're now in the arm's of Jesus see you again David Gallardo...e-mail d.gallardo77@yahoo.com

I hadn't seen you since High School but I thought of you from time to time and then I heard this horrible news. You were humble back in the day and a good friend, always there...just a real human being to your core.
Man I can't believe you're gone. No more slap-boxin for us huh? I miss you dog and I will make sure that you're memory lives on. Everybody I know is going to know how you touched us all. I will see you one day but until then I love you and watch over us kinfolk.

Am shoked to hear of Roshii passing away. Had no idea this had happened. Roshii was my favorite fighter at the olympic games, always respectful and, nice to train, All my best to his family and my deepest simpathy.

They say there is a reason
They say that time will heal
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way I feel.
For no one knows the heartache
that lies behind my smile,
No one knows how many times
I have broken down and cried.
I can' t even finish the ............
You were just here Monday we were talking and laughing, who knew that w/in hours you'd be gone from our lives. I miss you and so do my kids. We love and miss you, you watch over us now, and protect us. I'm so sad.
