George Dundas Obituary
After having a stroke in November 2024, Roger passed away in his home with his loving wife, Dottie Ferrell, and faithful dog, Trooper on November 5, 2025.
Roger, 73, was born in Bozeman, MT to George Willis Dundas and Ethel Margo Welch. He dedicated his life to being the best son, the best father, the best husband, and the best friend he could be. His towering stature often intimidated strangers, but those who knew Roger were blessed with a friend who would give them the shirt off his back. Roger was a county sheriff in Townsend before becoming a highway patrol officer in Helena and then Bigfork. He met his wife, Dottie Ferrell, in Helena and they shared a 32-year marriage.
A cowboy through-and-through, Roger spent most of his life on ranches and farms throughout Montana. After retirement, Roger and Dottie moved to Port Angeles, Washington, but he continued to travel back to Montana twice yearly to attend his ranch.
He loved teaching his kids and grandkids how to fish, build benches and birdhouses, how to grow a garden, and how to love with his whole heart. Mostly, however, Roger taught us all how to live life to its fullest and never fully grow up. There are always adventures to be had, and he never shied away from an opportunity.
Roger is survived by his wife, Dottie Ferrell, his four siblings: Patricia Toney, Terry Spatzerath, Brad Dundas, and Robert Dundas, and his four children: Jayme Johnston, George Daniel Dundas, Katrina Ferrell, and Greta Turney.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks those interested in honoring Roger to consider donating to a local animal shelter or to hospice.

When I first started driving I was pulled over because my car burned oil...this particular day it was really bad and it had a pretty good cloud of smoke behind it. I will never forget the last name on the warning he gave me. This was the first time I was stopped by a police officer.
My condolences go out to his family and loved ones.

Roger was a good man and friend. He was always great to work with and his humor kept us all smiling even when the job got tough. Somewhat accident prone he earned the often said response, "What happened to Roger this time?" whenever it was announced that one of our guys was off duty due to injury.
I pray for God´s comfort and strength for his family. He spoke of them often with love and pride. I will always remember him with his mischievous smile.
Rest in peace my dear friend and brother.

Never caught Roger in a bad mood or not having time to help out if needed. Just a solid person and great ambassador for our MHP family.
