Roger desired to live a quiet and peaceful life. He was known as a kindhearted, giving soul to those that called him friend.

Ella and Isaac were the light of Roger's life. Fly high, Pop. We will see you again soon.

He is survived by his wife, Jean, of 51 years; son Collin (Amy); grandchildren, Ashley, Ella, Isaac; brother, Jerry; and sister, Elaine Garrett.
