Louis Marie Roger peacefully departed this world at the age of 95 in East Lansing, MI. Born on September 15, 1928, in Pointe-A-Pitre, on the island of Guadeloupe, Louis lived a life filled with love, dedication, and meaningful connections.

Louis found his lifelong companion in Grace Roger (Manchester), whom he married on February 4, 1961. Together, they celebrated 50 years of marriage until Grace's passing on October 26, 2011. Louis worked diligently as a repairman for the National Cash Register Co., leaving a legacy of hard work and commitment.

He is survived by his loving children: Judy (Lee) Crabtree, Valerie Roger, and Gabriel Roger. Louis's legacy extends through his grandchildren, Melissa (Faucett) Harte, William Faucett, Josh Roger, and Libby Roger, as well as great-grandchildren Madison and Nevaeh Harte, Bruce Richey, and Finn Dudley. He also leaves behind numerous nephews and nieces.

Louis was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Grace, and siblings Michelle (Roger) Azar (10/31/2018) and Jean Roger (September 2017), along with nephew Penny Azar. In honoring Louis's memory, the family suggests memorial donations to the Alzheimer’s Association, a cause close to their hearts.

The family expresses heartfelt gratitude to Provision Living at East Lansing for their dedicated care, providing comfort and support during Louis's final year.
