Roland Ernest Bousquin

Roland Ernest Bousquin, 72, of Taunton, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Sunday, September 6, 2026.

Born in Fall River on November 24, 1953, Roland was the son of the late Edmund Bousquin Sr. and Annette (LaFleur) Bousquin. He was raised and educated in Raynham and remained closely connected to the area throughout his life.

Roland dedicated his working years to the Town of Raynham Highway Department, where he spent his entire career before retiring. His many years of service reflected his strong work ethic and dedication to his community.

Roland was a man who appreciated the simple pleasures in life. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, going to yard sales, and taking walks through local cemeteries, where he found great interest in reading the names and dates on old gravestones and reflecting on the history and lives represented there.

Above all, Roland treasured time spent with his family. He especially enjoyed being with his nieces and nephews and had a special place in his heart for the little ones. Taking them to the zoo was something that brought him great happiness and created many wonderful memories for his family.

Roland was also a familiar face at Colonial Donut in Taunton, where stopping in each day became part of his regular routine. It was one of those simple traditions he enjoyed and looked forward to.

Roland is survived by his brothers, Edmund Bousquin Jr. and Donald Bousquin, and his sister, Susan McDermott. He was the brother of the late Theresa C. Medeiros. He also leaves several nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews, along with extended family and friends who will remember him fondly.
