74 of Chagrin Falls, Ohio and Boca Raton, Florida, entered eternal life on October 6, 2019. Born to the late Mary and Theodore Classen, D.O., Roger followed his father's footsteps and graduated from Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1972. His vocation was to be a healer in all aspects...
Read MoreI was very close to Roger's father-in-law, Jerry Schweitzer. I met Roger a few times. I know that he was a special husband, father and family man. I was very saddened for Debbie when I saw that Jerry passed the month before losing Roger. I can't imagine how she misses the men in her life. I know she was adored by both of them. Even though I was part of their lives back in the early eighties I have often thought of them.

I worked with the Classens physicians and Roger Classen while a medical student in the early 1980's. I was in awe of his surgical abilities Because of his strong DO mentorship, I went on to specialize in Neurology, Neuro-oncology and Sleep disorders. Roger Classen, DO was an intelligent man, a physician who loved his patients and a man who was always a class act. May his candle burn brightly! GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY during their period of grieving.

My deepest sympathy is extended the Roger Classen family. Dr. Roger was program director throughout my general surgery training at Brentwood Hospital. We shared many experiences, laughs, good times, and heart breaks throughout those years. He was a genuinely caring person, dedicated to his patients and to the success of his surgical residents.

Dr. Classen was a tremendous physician that cared so much for his patients. I worked with him for many years on breast cancer research trials. We had many talks about our boats and our families. Heaven is gaining another goon one. RIP Dr. Roger.
