ROGER B. CARTER

Roger B. Carter was born January 15, 1957, in Eugene, Oregon. He spent most of his growing up years in Westfir, Oregon. Roger left behind his daughter, four sisters, an uncle, cousins, nieces, and nephews, as well as the many friends he had made over the years. Roger was an Electrical Supervisor at Hampton Lumber Company in Willamina, Oregon, and is remembered as one who took much pride in his job. Roger finished his electrical schooling and received his license all while working full time and raising his teenage daughter. There wasn't a task set before him that he wouldn't accomplish. Roger led an honest life, full of integrity, selflessness, strength and a positive attitude. He was an avid tailgater, easily being one of the biggest Oregon Duck Fans of all time, leaving us with many untouchable tailgating experiences and everlasting MEMORIES-we thank you for that.


"Dad, not a singe day will go by that you are not in my mind and in my heart. You gave me a life of opportunity and taught me how to be the kind of person I want to be. You will continue to be untouchable as a Dad and as a man. There would never be enough words to describe how much I love and will continue to look up to you, until we meet again. Thank you, I love."


Roger will be missed by many, but the impact he made in our lives will continue on. He once said years ago, "Good people go young." That's an understatement. Thank you for blessing our lives, teaching us, and showing us your strength and humor through this fight. You are the one who got us through. Forever in our hearts, and in our memories you will be. May 22, 2011.
