We do not know Roger, just came across his obituary.  We just wanted to say thank you for your service to our country Marine, we are grateful! Our heartfelt prayers to your family and loved ones! May your legacy carry on in our youth who step up and follow in your footsteps! Semper Fi from a brother in Michigan 🇺🇸

Rodger was my friend and I miss him...😞😣😢😭😞💔

Roger was like a father to me. He took me in and treated me as if I was family. Roger didn’t do that with just anyone. In fact Roger didn’t allow anybody to live at his place of residence. Thank you Roger for that and for all the times we shared together, the long talks we had I will always remember. My fondest memories with Roger is shooting our paint ball guns at the garage, the potato launcher in the sky, lighting off firecrackers, fixing and building things in the garage or backyard and for all the delicious dinners you cooked. Thank you for making me feel like family. I feel so lost without you here and wish you didn’t have to go. I miss hearing your slippers shuffling on the cement walking towards my door. But I know what you said if anything ever happened to you.  I will do my best to  look out for Raquel as if she were my own sister. Rest In Peace my best friend. Now you have no pain. I will always cherish our memories forever. I love you Roger Lucas. 

I have so many good memories of my Uncle Roger all the amazing Holidays growing up and the newer tradition of making the 4th of July go out with a bang. He always had tons of illegal fireworks for us to set off! My girls always looked so forward to going to Uncle Rogers on the 4th.  You were loved very much and will be deeply missed❤️. As for you Raquel you have no idea how he loved you and adored you. I remember how much he would brag about you when you were growing up , remember he’s still here sitting up on the clouds above still in awe of you prouder than ever. 

It's never the right time
To say goodbye.
I will miss you, Dad,
And here is why.
You taught me so much:
To show no fear,
To always have fun,
And face the day with cheer.

You were always so able, 
So fast and so strong.
In your little girl's eyes
You could do no wrong.
You would always listen, 
And you never pried.
You were the arms around me 
When I cried.

You never looked for praises,
And you were never one to boast.
You were always there
For those you loved the most.

You worked so hard,
And those strong working hands
Led me through life 
And helped me understand
That life can be hard, 
And tough, and sad,
But through it all
I had my Dad.

And because of you,
I understood
That life was actually 
Pretty good.
I believe in you
And will follow your path,
And when things go wrong,
I'll look back and laugh. 

I hope you can hear me 
So I can let you know
That you were and will forever
Be my superhero.
So yes, today 
I am full of sorrow,
But I will smile a little more 
With each tomorrow.

So please, Dad, go
Be at rest 
And know to me 
You were always the best.

Roger was a dear friend, a great father and just an all around wholesome down-to-earth man. Every time I would go to his house he would welcome me with open arms. He called me Tammers and would always offer me something to drink or eat. He would always tell me his funny stories from his younger days. He raised his child on his own. Not a lot of men I know I can say that. Roger was like a father figure to my boyfriend Brendon. Roger and Brendon would talk for ours. Brendon learned so much from Roger. I am going to miss Rogers cute laugh, how he would put his head down and give a deep chuckle while shaking his head. I loved that. Roger worked up until the day his passed. He always worked to provide for his daughter. His daughter was his everything. I will miss Roger more than anyone I have ever known. I wish he were still here. Ever since he passed my boyfriends world has been turned upside down. I know things will get better but will be so different without Roger in our lives. Love you Roger and I know you are in no more pain now. So rest in piece my true down friend. May God be with you now and forever. Thank you for being you. I will always cherish the memories we made. Every 4th of July I will think of you even more. You loved those fireworks. 





I have so many fond memories of Roger. For instance, I remember the time I was at his house, and he had misplaced some money--a LOT of it! Roger was frantic. I helped him look for the missing money for a couple hours, and he said to just forget it, that he must have thrown it away by mistake at the dump earlier today, and that it's nowhere to be found. I looked down at his hand. Roger had been holding the missing money in his hand that entire time! We laughed and laughed! I think Roger was everyone's best friend; I know he was mine. I will always miss him, will never forget him, and will think of him every single day...from now on.





 I’ve been up the river and over the mountain  with Rodger  when I received the call that he had passed I immediately had to go to the hospital to put eyes on him because I couldn’t believe it  I had the opportunity to hold his hand and give him a hug  and let him know that our friendship does not end with death that I’ll be tracking him down again soon  Rodger is one of my best friends and that goes beyond life   I’ve always had a gift of finding something positive in any situation  The positive thing with this situation was that had the pleasure of meeting Dawn Rogers other Daughter  and that was a blessing thank you for letting me share sincerely Fred Day

Something I loved about Roger was he knew how to celebrate the holidays whether it be the 4th of July,  Halloween , Thanksgiving, or Christmas. He went all out and would cook for everyone. And what I love even more is he passed  that trait onto my daughter Raquel and taught her how to go all out on the holidays teaching her how to cook and bake! Thank you Roger for that. 
If it had been left up to me my daughter still wouldn’t know how to cook or bake! 
Another thing I loved about Roger is him and Raquel thought of everyone when it came to Christmas. Whether it was baked cookies or some other small gift they thought of everyone. I’m glad that Roger passed thst trait onto my daughter as well! He was a great father and Raquel was very lucky to have such a wonderful father for the past 25 years! I only hope I can live up to his legacy with my daughter.  It will take much patience and love! That is something he has taught me.  You will be missed my friend!

I’m glad I was here in California this past year and got a chance to say thank you for being such a great father to Raquel and that I was proud of him! I know he appreciated what I said. We had our difficulties but in the end we were the best of friends and could talk about anything. I’m glad I was here in the end and I know he was too. 

My memories of Roger are him feeding us with his nice dinners and getting mad at me for eating sun flower seeds and making a mess at his house. One thing I noticed about Roger is he was a very private person and held his feelings in. Wish he would have opened up more and shared how he was really feeling. He was a great guy! We will miss him. Great friend! Very generous!

I knew Roger for years through our daughters long time friendship. I always appreciated the way he was ready to lend a helping hand. I admired his love & unfailing support for Raquel. He persevered through difficult times with courage. I enjoyed his company on school trips when we accompanied our daughters. He looked out for the kids & other moms. He had a generous spirit. I will miss him.
