Roger W. Priebe, of Weston, passed away peacefully on September 2, 2025, at the age of 57, surrounded by family at Marshfield Medical Center-Weston, following a brief illness.

Roger was born on January 12, 1968, in Wausau, WI to Jerry Priebe and the late Lois Priebe, the youngest of five children. Roger grew up in the Rothschild/Schofield area and graduated from D.C. Everest High School. He served in the US Army during Operation Desert Storm.

Roger was a "jack of all trades" and could fix or build just about anything. He loved camping and going to the camper every weekend in the summer with his boat. He enjoyed spending time with his wife and friends, often around a back yard campfire.

Roger is survived by his loving wife, Mary. He is further survived by his two stepsons, Jason (Penny Roth and Nick (Lindsey Rzentkowski) Roth. He is also survived by five grandchildren, Gage, Alexis, Gabriel, Grace and Kessa, as well as many nieces and nephews.

Roger is further survived by his dad, Jerry (Carol) Priebe of Wisconsin Rapids, and sisters Lynn Chaignot, of Rothschild, Sherri Pearson of Thief River Falls, MN, and Mary Alice Priebe of New Ulm, MN.

Roger is predeceased by his mother, Lois Priebe; sister, Marie Ann Priebe; and father and mother-in-law, Henry and Eileen Wojciechowski.

Memorial services in Roger's honor will be held Monday, September 15, 2025, from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon at Restlawn Memorial Park (235962 N Troy Street, Wausau) with entombment to follow.
