Rollen was born in Steamboat Springs and grew up as part of a ranching family, where he learned to ride horses, hunt and fish. From a young age, he took up downhill skiing and continued to ski into his 70s. He knew the Werner family and Buddy Werner whom the mountain was named after.
Rollen was a member of the United States Air Force. He was also a Special Agent in the FBI, retiring after 25 years. Out of everything he achieved in life, he was most known for being a kind and loving man who took care of his family and was always there for friends. A husband, father, brother, uncle, cousin, friend, and overall great man who will be dearly missed.
