My condolences for this amazing family that I don’t see often, but I have in my heart. For the love and the support you give to so many people; May you always be surrounded by blessings.   I will always be thankful for all that Diane and Roger did for me. I have you in my memories Roger, as an exemplary man, joyful and calm and a beautiful warrior. 
May your spirit Rest In Peace with the angels and our divine creator. 
Much love, 
Mafe and family

Rodger was more than just a friend ~ He was a lifelong brother ~ workmate ~ neighbor ~ It all started many many moons ago ~ from when we met in Anderson ~ when he moved to Happy Valley Rd. Followed him to Huston Texas and and back ~ Was around when he met Diane ~ Watched this man come through brain surgery to his Native ancestors way of life where he became  a Spiritual leader ~ He gave so much and asked for nothing in return ~ The Sweats where always very spiritual and healing ~ You'll live on in all our hearts forever ~ You serve Creator now ~ watching over your loved ones ~ I love you my Brother as you continue on your new journey ~ Denny will be so glad to be with you ~ Keep him close till I make my journey ~   Creator's Blessings ~ Mitakuye~Oyasin ~ Ah'o ~ 

Yellow Knife you are missed. I know that you and Rod (one who walks with two shadows) are together and enjoying each other’s company.  
Love and much respect

I asked Roger if I could wash his coffee cup for him and he told me, "I never even rinse that cup just in case someday I might need to scrape the coffee from the inside, that way I'll never run out." He had a great sense of humor, and of himself. 
I've included a picture of Roger, encouraging my children and I to dance, and be ourselves at a local dance, even though we wore Alaskan Button Blankets regalia.
His smile will always remain in my heart. His stories and teachings were always what I needed to hear on that day.

Roger was my say so son's spiritual adviser and friend. I attended a ceremony for our granddaughter Miah at their house. Roger was a well loved man by many people including myself. My son passed before him and I know met him on the other side. Much love and respect Roger. Please give my son, James, a big hug for me. RIP

Roger was my good friend, he took care of Leksi Dave Chief, I could always count on Him. He was a Man of honor and respect. I danced in Arvol Sundance 15 years and He or Wally Weasel Bear would eat for me. I have never been hungry and felt truly supported . I benefited from His love  I thank Him for Gifts  .... I wish His Family so much love.... Travel on your journey my friend Tunkashila is so proud of his Tokala , wopila pila miya
