Jan and Family,

I worshiped there every Sunday while living with my parents and putting my life back together after my divorce. Pastor Heintz, although he didn't know it, was very helpful through his sermons, and to that I will always be thankful!! I'm sorry for your loss. Rejoice in the fact that one day you will be reunited with Roger, in our Glorious Fathers kingdom!!

Mary and I were saddened by the news. But we know he is with Jesus enjoying his new place. We thank the Lord for Rogers friendship for more than 30 years. He was always there for Cynthia. We thank him for many helps and blessings he had given to all of us family. We all shall meet again up there. We pray for his whole family that the Lord gives comfort and joy knowing he is fine with Jesus. Blessings, Bob and Mary

May His Grace give you the comfort,strength, and peace that passes understanding.

Jan and family,
Thank you for sharing your dear husband with so many people. I knew him for a short time, but he was such a blessing to me. Wes and I are to be married in October and he was to officiate. We were so looking forward to pre-marital counseling from someone so humble and seasoned in marriage, forgiveness and someone that shined the light of Christ so bright. Wes will miss his buddy in the 'Piece of Work' club. I am confident that God will bring good out of this and pray that his family will feel his loving arms surrounding them.

Pastor Roger was a great man. What I appreciated about his character most was that he always pointed to the fact that he only existed by the grace of God. No matter how good or how bad life was in that particular moment, Pastor always reminded us to never forget that the cross had taken care of everything and that God, not man, was always the only one that was ultimately in control. What a wonderful servant of Jesus he was!

Pastor Roger's guidance, friendship and service will always be remembered by all of us with appreciation. Our deepest sympathy to Jan and the entire Heintz family.

The last time I saw cousin Roger he was just a kid on the Heintz family farm in Minnesota. He surely distinguished himself in family and ministry. Our condolences to those his life touched
and blessed. His Dad was my godfather
and I can remember the family gathered around the table for meals. Jim Schackel, Salem, Oregon

Words seem to fall short in trying to express our deepest sympathy to your family. Pastor Roger had such a profound impact on our family over the years in many different ways. For us he will be remembered for his kindness, compassion, and unwavering commitment to his Lord. He will be missed greatly here on earth but has finished the race strong and begins his eternal life with Christ. There is no better place to be than in the loving arms of Jesus!! Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
