Rodger Whitledge Obituary
He was born on June 2, 1948, in Clay, KY, to the late Carolyn Duncan Helton and Jack Whitledge. He was a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps. He was a self-employed tile setter. His greatest joy was spending time with his family. Rodger was of the Baptist faith.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by brother, Ben Whitledge; and his brother-in-law, John Williams.
His survivors include his son, Jack Cody Whitledge of Texas; daughter, Lacey Whitledge of Owensboro, KY; sister, Cindy Williams of Providence, KY; several grandchildren; niece, Katie (Jody) Collins of Slaughters, KY; and his nephew, Travis (Chelsea) Williams of Madisonville.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. Harris Funeral Home was entrusted with care.
