Roger was a lifelong farmer/rancher who was passionate about his livestock and the outdoors. From a very young age he loved to hunt, fish, and trap. Reading, visiting with friends, his pets, auctions, and trips to the Rocky Mountains were some of his greatest joys.

He was proceeded in death by his mother and father. Survivors include his wife, Susan, and daughter Mindy.
