All About Me
WHERE I COME FROM
​
Bacchus O. J. Rolle is the son of the late Rev. Victor Andrew Rolle and Evangelist Lolamae Rolle (nee Rigby.) He has an older sibling, Theus and they grew up in a Christian home where values, morals, and integrity were watched words. As a young boy, he spent most of his summers in either Mangrove Cay, Andros, or Clarence Town, Long Island. It was in Long Island where he was endeared to the Anglican faith as he assisted his grandfather, the late Cathecist Ulrick Rigby, with preparation for Sunday mass and midweek services.
To date, Bacchus is an ardent member of St. Ambrose Anglican Church. He is a member of the Anglican Church Men (ACM); he and his wife co-chair the Marriage Ministry, he serves on the guild of St. Ambrose, is a licensed Chalice Bearer and is a past member of the Vestry. Next to God, family is the most important aspect of his life. He and his wife Kimberley have been married for 22 years and have two sons, Dionysius (18) and Derryus (8)
An avid sportsman who represented The Bahamas from as early as little league baseball and continued all the way to the senior men's national basketball teams, sports has been intricately interwoven throughout his lifespan. He currently is the Head coach of the University of The Bahamas' Men basketball team, where he has turned that program around from basement dwellers to consistent winners. He continues to give back to the community through the many organizations he serves on including, but not limited to Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc., One Family Junkanoo, and Community Organization, Lodge St. Michael 1634 S.C. In every aspect of his life, he has been a leader; whether it is sports, civic and community life, church, family, or other. He can always be found at the forefront advocating, leading, and offering his assistance where needed.
