So sorry to hear about Roger. We rode the same school bus for years. Always nice and well mannered. I knew he would rise up and make something good of himself. Very professional even as a teenager. Praying for his family and friends. May God comfort you and help you through this grief process.

My deepest condolences to the Jefferson family. It was my pleasure to visit, and inspect Mountain View Farms for the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality for 20+ years. Interacting with Roger was always interesting and positive. He was a force of nature, and very competent. It is with great sorrow I have learned of his passing. He will be missed on many levels.

Mr. Jefferson coached me in basketball many years ago in youth league in Franklin County, when I played with his son, Rodney. I also remember him taking me to Myrtle beach on vacation with Rodney. Good coach and man. God bless and praying for the family.

Dear family, I am so sorry to hear about Roger's passing. I always thought he would live forever. He
meant so much to so many of us and I compared any future bosses against him and none of them ever measured up. He will truly be missed. Thoughts and prayers for you all.
