ROGER PLEVYAK Obituary

Roger John Plevyak Was born in Warren, Ohio on June 22, 1944. He passed away peacefully at home after a long battle with diabetes on March 12, 2011. Roger dedicated his life to Honor and Service for his country and community, serving both in the Air Force and the Tacoma Police Department. He later retired from Tucci & Sons. Roger was preceded in death by his father, Adam "Ted" Plevyak. He is survived by his wife, Kathy; children, Holly, Chris, Kraig and family; brother, Ted and family. Roger was our Big Rock, taking care of us every step of the way. It breaks our heart to lose you, honey, but you didn't go alone, part of us went with you, when God called you home. God closed your weary eyes and whispered no more pain. Hot sandy beaches and beautiful blue waters are waiting for you. Forever you will be loved and missed. Private family service to be held
