Jimm Allen Roland, 65, of Manheim, was welcomed into the open arms of his Lord and Savior on Monday, November 25, 2024, at his home. Born in Lancaster, he was the son of the late John and Jennie Weaver Roland. Jimm married Elizabeth Good Roland in 1986 and for 38 years they loved and laughed together. He obtained his Master of Divinity and began his career as the Director of Christian Education and Youth at Ephrata Church of the Brethren and later became the associate pastor at Chambersburg Church of the Brethren. For over 20 years Jimm was the lead Pastor at East Fairview Church of the Brethren where he was devoted to his congregation. After retirement he worked at Masonic Village in Landscaping and was currently working at Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory as a funeral assistant. Jimm was a strong man of faith who loved his Savior, family and grandsons more than anything. He was an avid Philadelphia and Penn State fan. His attitude was never anything short of positive. Traveling to the beach and tending to his flower gardens and houseplants were where you could find Jimm in his free time.

Surviving in addition to his wife, Beth are two children, Rebekah wife of Ryan Scorza, Jeremy Roland, and two grandsons, Carson and Luke. Also surviving are his siblings, Jane Hurst and Jack Roland.

A Celebration of life for Jimm will be held at East Fairview Church of the Brethren, 1187 Fairview Road, Manheim, PA 17545 on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 2:00 PM. There will be a time of greeting with the family from 12:00 PM until the time of service.
