My Friend for life, Roger has left this earthly plane, dropped his body and ascended to where I can feel him closer than ever. He is there. I love ❤ you Roger. Thank you for getting' me before I even got myself. Thank you for loving me and knowing the right thing to say or joke about so I wouldn't take myself so seriously or beat myself up senselessly. I am sad that you won't be around to marry Spike and me, as Enid in a kilt or Roger in a kilt, both would have been smashing.If there is a celestial planet' for him in heaven, I am booking my ticket to ride there, when I go..

I am Superhuman because of Roger. Are you Superhuman, too? Who are you because Roger was in your life?

Roger was an integral part of my life for many years during the 80's and 90's . Coming out, figuring 'it' out, and learning about life would have been so much more difficult without Roger. His sense of humor disarmed society's judgments, cut to the truth, and enabled me - and many others whom I knew and he loved - to find our places in life; I have met very few people in my life able to do this. He was not afraid to ask you the tough questions about life and had the wisdom to let your answers to those questions guide you. A remarkable person, indeed.

Roger was a big part of my life in the early 80's . I haven't talked to or seen him in 30 years. I was drawn to his flamboyant personality. Never a dull moment. He made me laugh and he made me cry. I was able to meet his family to whom I am so sorry for your loss., and the loss of 2 brothers that also recently passed away. I have thought of him a lot over the past 30 years, he's someone you can never forget! I am so saddened of Rogers passing. Rest In Peace Roger Brent Salazar. Trish

I Knew Rodger best as a Snazzy Enid. Sharp, Quick witted, Jolly
A lover of movement, good words and positive Visions. A most Compassionate, kind Empath a truly.gifted Human. I wish you all have had the 'conversations' and felt his empowering acceptance of YOU as YOU are without recourse to make you change from your true self. Safe Journeys

Salazar Family,

I was communicating with Roger recently while he was in the hospital after losing contact for quite some time. He spoke of all the loss in your family recently and now here you are losing him. I am so saddened by this news. I hope the memories of this gentle, hilarious giant are a source of comfort. He will always be my one "claim to fame" as he credited me in Enid's book with having given her "such beautiful nails". He will never be forgotten.
God bless,
Marilyn Ivory

Oh, my sweet, hilarious man! It's been so long since I last saw him. I met him when I had him cut my hair. This was in the 80s, and he gave me the most fantastic hair! Ala Grace Jones!
I would bring my toddler-age daughter (who he adored!) with me and one time, while he was washing my hair, she grabbed the knob that was on the end of the lever that lowered the back of the chair, and popped it in her mouth! I've never seen anyone move so fast in my life, a veritable blur as he grabbed her and retrieved the knob! Of course it startled her to tears, but Roger calmed her down and we carried on with the haircut!
I was graced with Sister Enid's book when it came out. OMG, it was wonderful!
So, here we are....missing Roger. The world is not the same, it never will be without him. But I'm pretty sure that none of us would be the same if we hadn't had him in our lives. And he would never like us to be sad, so go out there and carry on loving and laughing!
