Brent and Family, Roger will surely be missed. We have known each other since 1st grade. I remember when your Mom would volunteer at the school and help out with our field trips. I am so blessed that we were able to spend time with him at the reunion. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mike Graham and I just found out about Roger, we are truly sorry for your loss. We just received a list of people to try to locate for a 30th class reunion. We graduated in 77 a year after Roger, but he was on our list because he was part of our family too. He was great person, always a pleasure to be around, he made us laugh and feel better about ourselves. We did not see much of earch other since school, but we were looking forward to seeing him at the reunion, we will have to wait alittle longer and catch up with him in Heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Brent and Sandra,
I knew Roger from Hawthrone and Garinger. He was one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet. He never saw a stranger and always had a great smile and goofy laugh that made everyone else smile and laugh too. Roger's kindness to all the people that he met in his life and his caring heart for animals will be missed by so many people. My prayers and thoughts are with your family at this difficult time. Peace be with your family and comfort knowing he is happy and folicing with the Angels.

Dear Mayer Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Roger in high school and it's far too many years since I had last seen him. Fond memories of him have come flooding back in learning this news and reading these moving tributes --his gentle and kind nature, his smile, the fun and friendship we shared. My thoughts are with you.

My brother Ronnie and I went to school with Roger and his brother Brent at Garinger. I got to know Roger best after he started dating my wife's cousin Karon, with whom he had Austin. The thing that will always stand out in my mind about Roger was that smile, always grinning from ear to ear. I can't remember ever seeing him without that smile. The other thing I will always remember about Roger is what an awesome dad he was to Austin. A son has never been loved more than Austin was by Roger. My wife Susan (Lee) and I, along with my brother Ronnie, are very glad we got to know him. He was an awesome guy. I am so sorry that Austin will miss out on doing so much with him as he grows up. God bless Austin and Brent and the rest of Roger's family.

Everyone that ever knew "Rog" will remember him as a great friend, Dad, neighbor, uncle, or brother. If you had a problem Roger would do what he could to help. I admired him because he didn't let obstacles stop him from doing anything. He never complained and was always easy with a smile and a laugh. He was a good man and will be missed by everyone who knew him.
