Roger King Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Modetz Funeral Home - Silverbell Chapel on Mar. 13, 2026.
Roger F. King; age 71 of Lake Orion, passed away March 11, 2026. Son of the late Frank and Katharine King; loving father or Rebecca (James) VanEeckhoutte, Roger (Alisha) King II, and James (Carly) King; dear grandpa or Renee (Jake), Nathan, Syvana, Adyson, and Parker; great-grandpa of Annabelle and John; brother of Tim (Jeannie) King.

Roger enjoyed spending time on the golf course and appreciated both the challenge of the game and the time shared with family and friends. He had a passion for building and flying model airplanes and racing RC cars; hobbies that reflected his love of tinkering. A creative spirit at heart, he also enjoyed painting and expressing himself through art as well as photography; often capturing special moments and scenes through his camera lens.

More than anything, Roger treasured time with his family.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
