Roger was Helpful, protective, loving, personable, loved life and never met a stranger. No matter if it was family, friend, or medical professional, you would know he liked you by his way of picking and joking. He always had a way to make you laugh. When anyone needed help of any kind, we all knew he would be there. From hooking up speakers and stereos, building a shelf or a house, repairing or remodeling. Even while he was sick he would still offer to help, knowing he wasn't really able to but giving all he had to try. Roger loved to volunteer for youth camp night watch. A job highly disliked by others. If there was an emergency or a situation would arise, he would be there ready to help.

Love and laughter are the words that best describe his life. His main love was his two babies, Courtney and Roger III. He loved spending time with them and playing with them. Not only was he a dad but still just a big kid himself. In his last days, even though he was very sick and in a lot of pain, he still managed to say and do funny things to make his family and even his nurses laugh. Roger was always cold and never could seem to warm, so he would wear a hospital glove on one of his hands. (The hand that did not have needles and lines) His nurse came in and asked, "Roger, why are you wearing that glove?" With a huge smile he replied, "Michael Jackson." He had so many nurses and doctors repeatedly check on him and ask about him because he had left such a lasting impression on them. We will remember him as the giver that he was. Until he drew his last breath he was still wanting the best for his family. He didn't want to see us hurt or cry. He always was and will be a loving son, brother, uncle and father.
