Arabia Shrine Horse Patrol Renders Final Honors to Noble Calvin Roach

Houston, Texas – In a moving display of brotherhood and respect, the Arabia Shrine Horse Patrol stood in solemn honor on Friday, January 23, 2026, as they paid tribute to fallen Shrine Mason Noble Calvin Roach during his funeral service. Dressed in their traditional white shirts and black hats, members of the Horse Patrol formed a dignified presence alongside Potentate Illustrious Sir Otto Akers, several Past Potentates, and fellow Nobles. Together, they represented the enduring bonds of the Shrine fraternity — bonds that extend beyond life’s earthly journey. Noble Calvin Roach was more than a fellow Shriner; he was a good friend, a devoted Mason, and a steadfast brother whose life reflected nearly a century of faith, friendship, and service. At 98 years young, his legacy stands as a powerful testament to a life well lived and a heart committed to the principles of the Craft. Those who knew him remember a man who valued fellowship, gave generously of himself, and embraced the meaning of true brotherhood. His contributions to the Shrine and to his fellow Nobles will not be forgotten. The presence of Arabia leadership and membership at his service affirmed a simple but profound truth — no brother walks alone, and no brother is forgotten. Arabia Shriners extend heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. May they find comfort in knowing that Noble Calvin’s impact lives on in the hearts of the Nobility he served and cherished. Rest easy, Noble Calvin. You will forever remain in our hearts and in the light of the Shrine. #NeverForgotten #ArabiaKnights
