Roger transitioned to his heavenly home on Tuesday, June 1, 2021, surrounded by family at Spectrum Health Lakeland Hospital in St. Joseph, Michigan.

Roger attended Benton Harbor Area Schools and graduated from Benton Harbor High School with the mighty Class of 1990.

Under the leadership of the late Rev. Emery Mack Varrie I, Roger gave his life to Christ at the Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church.
