Roger was a member of Elevate Ministries in Jackson, Ohio for many years. He loved living for God and counted it an honor to be one of the first faces everyone saw when he greeted them at the church doors. He enjoyed talking to people and he never met a stranger. He was well known for his love and compassion for other people, and was always willing to lend a helping hand.
Roger cherished spending time with his family, and loved them all dearly. He also loved fishing, camping, and sprint car racing and enjoyed doing these things with his friends and family as often as possible. He enjoyed southern gospel music, bluegrass music, playing his guitar, relaxing around a campfire, and front porch sitting.
Anyone who knew Roger will agree that he will be greatly missed.
