Roger Zabik

Dr. Zabik, along with Dr. Dawson and Dr. Frye were my favorite college professors and friends. As a GA in the HPER dept. from 94-96 I spent many hours in the Ex. Physiology lab forming a great bond with the three of them. I enjoyed the opportunities they provided me and my classmates, including trips to various regional and national ACSM meetings and the experience of lifetime, a camping trip to the Boundary Waters. I have thought of him often over the years and will never forget the impact...

Great memories of my very best friend ever--rest in peace, old buddy. You left a great legacy!

You will always be among my dearest memories, my friend! Our growing up together was a blessing and your family was so special. As I approach my own ending days, those memories become even dearer. I hope you and Garth are enjoying the afterlife together, as we three musketeers were inseparable for so long. Bless you and all your family.

I never had a better friend and I'm still adjusting to his loss. He will be in my thoughts up until I myself pass, and you will be, too, Liz. I hope you are doing well and please keep in touch. joel

So sad to hear the news that Roger had past away Friday 10/19/18. I was blessed to have Dr. Zabik as one of my professors back in 1979 as I did my graduate studies at WMU. He became a mentor in my life and had a profound influence on my professional life back at that early stage of my life. Roger & I have been able to reunite our friendship over the past 5 plus years as we both attended Second Reformed Church.

I know Roger is now in a better place no more struggles or problems with...

We are so saddened to hear of Roger's passing. Liz and family, Matt and Mary Ellen, our sincere condolences.
Roger was an extraordinary man! Was there anything that he couldn't do? We are so honored that you've kept in touch with us through the years.

Oh Liz--I am SO sorry to hear this terrible news. Roger was my best friend in the world for so many years growing up, and I can't imagine a world without him. I was so proud of the wonderful life he forged in this world, and only wish I had remained in touch. Roger was so lucky to have found you, as you were the key to his everything. You made such a terrific pair--a veritable destiny of nature, and you and the family have my deepest condolences.
