I'll never forget when I was about 10 and we were riding in the car with uncle Roger and aunt Kathy in Belton my mom and aunt Kathy and uncle Roger who was driving were in the front me,bubba, and Jody and Toby were in the back seat. 
Belton had this one lane bridge going across nolan creek and it still had water on it from the creek going down and there was a man standing on the bridge looking at the water and we when we crossed the bridge uncle Roger hit the water that was still on the bridge and covered the man that was looking at the water  we all died laughing  .
I LOVE YOU Uncle Roger
There will be tons of memories of you,
You were one of a kind there just ain't another Roger Jolly  no way.

Oh gosh I don’t even know where to start I have so many wonderful memorieswith my dad. ❤️ He was the funniest and caring dad,when he smiled his cheeks would just light up red his last name Jolly fit perfectly with him. Well here’s just a few memories I have with my dad there are to many to write down but I will share a couple.  I was the youngest child of us 4 and I’m the only girl so of course I was a spoiled brat. My dad was a retired construction operator. Then he started selling copper wire so on my school summer breaks him and my mom and I would load up in my dad’s truck and hit the road we went everywhere out of state to look for copper we would find a big load of wire and I would help my dad load it up and he would have me get in back of the truck and stomp it down real good so he could fit all of it in there haha so when we would get back home he would have trouble unloading it because he would tell me I stomped it down to tight. But we would have such a blast on the road trips just him my mom and I . One time we were riding down the road and my dad loved to play jokes on my mom we were riding down a back road we had been on the road for a while and my mom was asleep in the middle and my dad looked over at me and whispered when I hit the break you scream haha so he did and I screamed and my mom woke up really quick and started screaming because she thought we wrecked my dad and I laughed so hard .  I have so many great memories I wish I could share them all but I can’t. Not enough room. But I had a wonderful childhood full of family get togethers, camping trips, dancing,  lots of barbecues. My dad was definitely one of a kind he loved my mom and us kids more then anything he loved all of his family. My dad was also such a hard working man he worked hard all of his life all the way up to even when he got sick. Dad, you will be missed forever. We Love you ❤️RIP❤️I know your with Cory and Cody now I hope they don’t drive you to crazy. 

I already shared a memory, but I had a funny memory to share. 
After mine and Clarissa’s graduation papa took us to Oklahoma to gamble. 
He gave us each $20 and told us to make it last. 
Well Clarissa made it last, but I hit that max bet and lost my 20 within the first five minutes. So he gave me another 20. Well I kept losing all my 20’s and I would look all bored and down and Papa would feel sorry for me so he’d keep giving me more 20’s and saying that was the last one. I never did win anything that night. Clarissa probably came back with $140 and I probably spent $140. 
Papa was a strong headed man, but he could be a sucker at times too. 
Btw he never took me back to Oklahoma with him haha 

My papa was the absolute best papa a girl could have ever asked for.  From camping trips, to weekends at their house, it didn’t matter where we were because anywhere with Papa was bound to be a good time. He used to take his teeth out of his mouth and chase the grandkids around with them and we all would just laugh and scream and thought it was the funniest thing ever.
Back in high school when I first started driving and would visit him with my sister Meghin, he would always ask. And I mean every single time he would ask Meghin “Did you drive KayKay” and Meghin would just laugh and say “yeah”. 
The most important meaningful conversation I’ve ever had with my Grandpa was when he first started getting sick. I went to visit him with his little ‘Olshen twins’ as he always called them, and he asked me where Stephen was. I told him he was working, but that he would be over as soon as he gets off work. He told me he was proud of me and that Stephen was a good man. He said we reminded him of him and grandma when they were first starting out. Young, with a family of their own, just starting out in life, didn’t have much, but they had each other. I don’t remember exactly what was going on in our lives at the time, but I remember my car kept on breaking down and his truck was having issues and it just seemed like one thing after another at the time. My grandpa knew we were having some tough times and in his own way and his own words he showed me how to look on the bright side of life and gave me something to look forward to by comparing us to them. If there’s one thing I know, it’s that my grandparents loved each other through it all and they never gave up no matter what life threw at them. There’s no greater love in the world. 
I miss you so much already Papa 
Till we meet again 
Xoxo Kayla and Meghin 



As everyone can see on here  by all the pictures and memories , that he was so loved by many. As you can see he had to be the best grandpa and great grandpa you could ever have. He played a huge roll in all of our lifes , and there aren't any bad ones to remember.  Because he was just a great person to be around. Uncle rodger could cook and sing and tell funny jokes or make the corky wise cracks. But most of all that I will remember of uncle rodger is that he was a true soul provider for his wife and kids. He worked till he couldn't know more. He cherished life everyday. There are only a few men in this word that could really do it , and live up to there word. He was honest loving kind hard working man. I love you uncle rodger. RIP 

I remember growing up and when summer came I'd get so excited because that meant visiting my aunts and uncle I loved spending time with Uncle Roger and Aunt Kathy 
We were forever going swimming or playing pool my uncle Roger was one of a kind to say the least .I loved him telling stories about my daddy Jaybo and him getting in trouble growing up... i know he was greater at the gates of Heaven by all of his family....
You will be missed Uncle Roger

My Papa had 20 Grandkids and 19 Great Grandkids, he loved each and everyone of us. Growing up we camped a lot the Colorado Bend, Lake Buchanan, and Longs Camp, Papa and Grandma would pack us all into their Motorhome and  take us or we spend most weekends at their house. When God made Papa he broke the mold, I don't know any Grandpa that had as much to do with his Grandkids as our Papa. Anyone who knew my Papa knew he was a storyteller, all true, but the way he told them you would just be cracking up for hours cuttin up with him. I had gone Junking with Papa and Grandma we had taken a load to Stephenville and when were on our way back home and Papa asked me where I wanted to eat I loved Cici's pizza and we saw one I begged him Papa, Papa, I wanna go to cici's please take me so he did, so we walk in and they had a buffet for 13 and under I was 11, The lady rang us up 3 adults and Papa said no its supposed to be 2 adults and one child that lady looked at me I was wearing a short skirt, High heels, I looked a little older than 11 and it didn't help that I was taller than my Papa, he told her lady she is 11 years old I am not paying full price when I don't need to she gave him the price but I'm not so sure she really believed him haha every chance he got to bring that story up he did I surely never lived it down. Papa and Grandma always walked every night even when they had all of us kids so Papa would race with us, I tell you what one time I took off running I got to the front gate and Papa wasn't with me anymore I had won so I went back well he had fallen down and the sole came off of his boot, he told me I only won because I pushed him down and he blew his dead gum boot out. Life was never dull around this man if you came over in a bad mood you definitely weren't leaving in a bad mood he would give you something to laugh about. He always told me stories about him and my Uncle Jaybo, I kinda felt sorry for my Grandma and Grandpa those two stayed in trouble.

I have so many memories with uncle Roger,  when we were little we would go spend a couple of weeks with him and aunt Kathy during the summer. Aunt Kathy would load all of us kids up in her car and take us down to the San Gabriel to play in the water. One afternoon uncle Roger met us down there in his pick up truck, he told us we needed to wash it. We told him we didnt have anything to wash it with, but he said use your hands, so we began washing his truck about that time a pair of black silky granny panties came floating down  the river, Uncle Roger picked them up and said" looky here somebody thought about me, they knowed I needed to wash my truck, so they left me a pair if panties" we laughed and laughed, if memory serves me I think I can remember aunt Kathy telling him to put those down!, you dont know who those belonged to. I love this man with all my heart and I will truly miss him. My rubber belly bumping  buddy.

I had some pretty great times with papa, my favorite memory is when we would all go camping together and every morning that we were there, him and papa Jody would always end up making everyone there breakfast burritos. In the evening before sunset, me and Scotty would walk down to his and grandmas camper and grandma would  sneak us inside and get 2 chocolate chip cookies each or what papa liked to call them his “famous camper cookies”. He would always walk in on us eating them and say “HEY what are you two doing eating my famous camper cookies, those are mine!!” Me and Scotty would always laugh at the way he said it to. I know us great grandkids didn’t get to see him so often but when we did it was a blast, lots of laughter and smiles. We love you papa, Rest In Peace. 💙🦋

I don’t know where to begin because I had millions of memories with papa I think by far though my favorite was the time him and grandma took all of us grandkids to the bend camping and it ended up storming pretty bad we thought our camping trip was ruined but papa had other plans he went and found this old ice chest lid and took us all under the bridge one of those  over pass bridges so it had a big concrete slab that you could walk up he told us to take the lid up to the top so we did! Wasn’t sure what we was getting ourselves into.kyle looked down at him and said what now papa? Papa said sit on it and slide down oh he did alright and flipped at the bottom papa done thought he killed him I said explain that to my mom and daddy we just laughed so hard! It didn’t stop us though we played on that old lid the whole time it rained ,and over the years when we’d go Back the lid was still there were we left it . I’m so thankful for memories things won’t ever be the same but we get to tell our kids about all the things we did with papa and I Know all his fun and joking will live on through us and we’ll pass it to our kids because we all have a piece  of papa in our hearts 

Never forget the time Roger tossed Virginia's tiny perches out with catfish guts. It must have took him 20 minutes of crawling through the brush with  a flashlight to find those perch. 

Papa was a huge part of my Childhood growing up, we spent so much time with him. We went camping with them either to the bend, lake Buchanan, longs camp wherever memories at all of the places. Most of all we spent so much of our childhood at their house. Papa was always up real early in the mornings when we would finally come crawling out of bed he'd get up and give us all the option of a corn dog for breakfast or a burrito and a half a dr pepper for each of us. We always got so mad because we wanted a whole dr pepper. My favorite memory would have to be when we all built a go cart down in the back and we wanted papa to go look so bad we put a steering wheel on it and everything. But he thought we took the steering wheel off his lawn mower and he didnt wanna get mad at us so he wouldnt go down there with us and look. (We didnt) 
Papa loved to tell jokes he didnt have a serious bone in his whole body.  One thing I can say is he very Rarely got mad at us Grandkids, we'd get in more trouble by Grandma then we would Papa. Haha. We never had to question his love that's for sure. We all knew he loved us and would do anything in the world for any of us day or night. He will be greatly missed but his memory will live in through us all for sure. We have way too many memories a d good times for them not too. Fly High Papa. We love you so much💖💖

My papa has been a big piece of my life since I was a little girl and most people know that so for me to share one memory would be silly. 

When I was younger I’d stay up watching late tv in grandma& papas bed with them. I remember him always telling grandma I needed to go get my butt in my own bed. But he would never kick me out. I used to think it was so cool. Come 5 am every single morning he would be up, he always thought he was going to miss something. I remember always walking to the bathroom passed his chair in the old house and he’d say “good morning sunshine time to get that lazy butt up” just like my mom always did. I always called him crazy for being up early when he was self employed. He took me on trips just about everywhere, and I’d fall asleep during road trips and he’d tell me when I woke up “girl you missed the best parts of the country”
The amount of family get togethers, and camping trips we did were unreal. I remember almost drowning at the lake at age 6-8 & I remember very clear papa running in to save me from the bank. 
He taught me responsibility and what the value of a dollar is. He’d put cory and I to work l, Cory would do more & we would get paid the same lol I learned how to play dominoes from him (although in the last 6 years he always griped about playing me because I’m a sore loser) he never said “I love you” much, papa was old school but I can guarantee you I felt loved all my life and would have never questioned asking “did he love me”. Papa was the greatest man, one of a kind to ever live, and I will miss him dearly. I know my brothers are about to give him a crazy time for the years they have lost! I will cherish and strive to live like him forever: love you papa & RIP
