Roger Tollas Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Roger's heart belonged to the adrenaline-fueled world of sprint car racing. His passion for cars and the thrill of racing never wavered, bringing him endless joy and excitement throughout his life. However, it was Roger's goofy and unforgettable life adventures that truly set him apart. The tales he spun were as entertaining as they were endearing, leaving his loved ones with cherished memories that will be treasured forever.
Roger leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter, survived by his daughters Cindy Allen, Julie Martinez, and Sherry Thompson (Matt Thompson). He was a proud Grandpa to 8 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren, whose lives were enriched by his presence and wisdom. In honoring Roger Tollas's memory, may we find comfort in the joy he brought to our lives and the lessons he imparted. As he embarks on his next great adventure, may his spirit continue to shine brightly in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Rest in peace, Roger, your legacy lives on through the laughter and love you shared with us all.
We will be having a dinner gathering of family and close friends to celebrate Roger's life at one of his favorite places on Saturday 11/15/25 - 5:00 PM. Please RSVP to [email protected] by 11/7/25.
