Roger McCandless Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 8, 2025.
Naples - Roger McCandless, 76, of Naples, died October 5, 2025, surrounded by family following a courageous battle with leukemia. Roger was born April 10, 1949 in Burnsville, North Carolina. Moving to Naples as a young man he completed his education and became owner/operator of McCrane Service. Roger's first love was his family; any chance he got he enjoyed fishing, and time in the Everglades on his swamp buggy or his airboat.

Roger was a mentor to many and always willing to help anyone, at any time.

Roger is survived by his wife of 48 years Judie, his daughter Sherrie, his son Scott and grandchildren Cameron, Brody, Kai and Bristol, as well as his sister June and brother Lyle.
