Katie Roman

The story

We have been touched by how many people are reaching out to our family, expressing a desire to send flowers or do something to show support. We will be holding a celebration of Katie's life with family and close friends at a time when it is safe for people to gather again. We want to honor her memory now by asking that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). Copy and paste the following link: https://bit.ly/364d27f

  Beautiful Katie. What a beautiful tribute. I hope there is airhead taffy in heaven. My favorite memory of the Roman sisters.

  Oh sweet Katie, where do I even begin. You loved this song, you shared it with me because it made you think of your friend Jordan, and also the house up on the hill at Palmer Lake. You were the sweetest, most compassionate person I’ve ever met. And you were so damn determined!!! As you would say, “ I am a capable woman!” I loved that I could make you belly laugh, I’m sure going to miss that laugh! The last night we had dinner together, was one of the times that I gave you a good laugh... We were at a little Italian restaurant, and I was trying to pronounce gnocchi. You would tell me, and five minutes later I would forget what it was actually called. You were super disappointed, because it wasn’t real gnocchi, and you wanted me to try the real thing. To Bob and Mary, Susie and Owen, Ann and Emily. My thoughts are with you all. My sweet Katie, I am devastated. I’d love to you in life, and I will continue loving you until there’s no life in me. And I will leave a light on......

  My fondest memories of Katie (in no particular order because they all make me smile)...1) During our decade long fantasy football league, you could always count on Katie to draft a kicker in the 3rd Round...must have been the soccer player mentality in her :)2) While I was not present for this story, I will never forget it. Apparently, Katie thought that dogs were like cats and would always find a way to land safely on their feet if dropped. Long story short, Katie was holding a puppy that began to squirm so she gently tossed the puppy...however, said puppy landed on its back :)3) I could always count on Katie at a Roman family gathering to a) show up solo (like myself) so we'd always have a chance to chat and b) laugh at all of the stupid things I'd say. Perfect example was in Montana this past summer at Claire's wedding...after the wedding reception, we ended up chatting until 3-4am about anything and everything (including how awesome zip-lining was)...such a fun trip and memory!Sending nothing but love to Uncle Bob, Aunt Mary, Anne, Emily, Susie, and Owen and I cannot wait for when we can all get together so we can share all of the amazing memories from such an amazing person.Rest In Peace, Katie

  I’m not a big social media guy, but the only photo I have on Instagram is of Katie. It was during one of our adventures while I lived in Denver. Her and Susie were already living in Denver when I moved out there. They would always invite me to do fun things, and wouldn’t you know it they were always a ton of fun. The Roman energy of kindness, happiness, and adventure is something I will always appreciate. All my love to Katie and the Romans.

  She told me about the puppy story, I was rolling laughing. I told her when she met my dogs, she had to promise not to throw them! Lol
