Roger Main Obituary

Roger Preston Main

Roger Preston Main passed away on May 16, 2021 following a courageous battle with cancer. Born December 8, 1940 in Mount Vernon, Ohio, he was a graduate of the Mount Vernon High School class of 1958. Married to his childhood sweetheart in 1967, he is survived by his beloved wife Sara, children Dale (Teresa) Main, Margaret (George) Bowling, Haley (Mikolaj) Main-Lis, and Randy (Nicole Pusateri) Main, grandchildren Sarah and John Bowling, and a dear grandson on the way, his two sisters Barbara Spearman and Beverly Wean, sisters-in-law Carol Dalglish, Mary Busenburg and Maria BeBee, and nephews and nieces Lee Dalglish, Kim Dalglish, Jen Wean, Chris Wean, Kathy (Mike) Mosholder, Rick Spearman, Alyssa(Gus) Nyburg and Michael (Amanda) Solomon, as well as many dear great nephews and nieces. Roger built a distinguished 45-year career working with the Pepsi Cola company, beginning as a distributor for Knox County and ultimately retiring from management, taking a break only to serve for a period in the United States Army in the Vietnam era. Roger loved spending time with his family, playing poker with his buddies, and enjoying time with friends - he could start a conversation with almost anyone. For 40 years every Sunday morning was a very special time set aside for he and Sara to meet with their dear childhood friends Patty and Mike Flora, sharing the highs and lows of life together through thick and thin, recalling childhood adventures and sharing many laughs. He was a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and his home away from home was Honey Buckets, where he was surrounded by more dear friends who laughed, argued politics, and shared stories with him and who cherished him. A very special thanks to everyone who loved and supported Roger in his battle with cancer: to his sisters Barb and Bev; to his dear friend Richard, to Dave Jarvis, and to Angie, Kevin, Chad, Steve and all his friends at Honey Buckets - to his life-long friends Patty, Mike, and Elaine - to his Hospice of North Central Ohio team Jen, Hannah, Devon, Debbie, and Angie - to Dr. Nimeth and his office, and to the amazing staff of Independency LLC, Beth and Rachel, who made it possible for Roger to fight his fight in his own home surrounded by family. A memorial service is planned for late summer when all of Roger's family will be present.

Roger's name just came up in a conversation. I had no idea that he had passed. I worked with him and Dale through the 90's and early 2000's. The man knew everything that there was to know about Pepsi-Cola and was always there for good advice in my early days as a supervisor. I thought very highly of him. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
Rest in peace.
