Prayers to the family.I would like to say the most enjoyable years coaching football were on the varsity team at Garden City High School. With Roger running the defense and and a staff that put an emphasis on playing solid football there was always an energized air.I miss those coaches meetings with Roger and the energy when he drew up the perfect defense to stop a play. RIP Coach. Ted Rize

Condolences. I worked for three seasons many years ago as Roger´s assistant starter at Cascades. He was a great mentor and storyteller! Later, I used a lot of the wisdom he shared when I served as a law enforcement officer and now, as an educator. Good memories and Good laughs. Prayers.

Sorry for loss, I know you and your family will cherish memories of Roger. He was a kind and thoughtful person. Terry and Jackie

A very good Chief with high ethical standards. If only the subsequent Chiefs could have done the same.

Thank you for your service Mr. Wilkes.
