Roger James Janisch, precious baby boy of Kurt and Sara (Sauer) Janisch was born into the arms of angels on Thursday, July 24, 2025, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin.

In his family’s hearts, he will always be remembered as a precious gift, a reminder of the beauty of life, no matter how short. His memory will forever serve as a gentle reminder of love in its purest form, as we cherish the thoughts of what could have been.

“Carried for a moment, loved for a lifetime.”

Roger is survived by his loving parents; grandparents, Mildred Janisch, Terry and Marla Sauer; siblings, aunts and uncles.

He was preceded in death by his great grandfathers, Roger Sauer and James Janisch; great grandmother, Gloria Johnson; and his uncle Kenneth Janisch.
