Roger Lee Sexton

Roger Lee Sexton, 57, of Freeman, WV passed Saturday, August 23, 2025, at Duke University Medical Center, in Durham, NC.

Roger was born March 28, 1968, in Bluefield, WV. Roger moved to Freeman, WV when he was 5 years old, which was where he called home most of his life.

Roger was preceded in death by his brother, Joseph Sexton and mother, Eunice A. Sexton. He is survived by his father, Alvin W. Sexton; special uncle, Larry Farthing; as well as many cousins and friends. He was once married to Tammy Sexton (Price) and helped raise her two sons, Dustin and Michael as his own.

Roger was a great caregiver for many years to his mother after she became disabled and bedridden. He worked several different jobs in his younger days, such as Kmart and Big Lots until he started at New River Foundry where he became disabled to work in 2004 with heart problems. He came back home to live with his parents until his passing.

Roger spent many days hunting and fishing with his father, brother, and friends. He was a member of the Princeton Boxing Club in his younger days and a proud life member of the NRA. He loved old cars; he owned a restored 1965 Chevelle that he and his father Alvin restored. Most of all, he loved his Pittsburgh Steelers. Roger gave his life to Jesus Christ in August 2023, he was saved and baptized at the Ceres Baptist Church in Ceres, WV, by Pastor Mooney.

Friends may call on Friday, September 5, 2025 from 6:00-7:00 at Cravens-Shires Funeral Home in Bluewell.

In keeping with Roger's wishes, he is to be cremated and buried beside his mother and brother at a later date at Roselawn Memorial Gardens.
