Barbara gave birth to Heather Hill on November 12,1973 in San Angelo, Tx. After their move to Hawaii, Roger and Barbara had their third child Deborah on August 3, 1976.

Roger and his family then moved to Arlington, TX where he began working at Honda as a car salesman. While working at Honda, Roger received awards in 1989 and 1990 for Outstanding Leadership and Professionalism. Roger had also worked as a roofer where he gained the experience of getting into general contracting. Roger and Barbara began B&R contracting, where Roger worked on houses and business across the city.

Roger was a man of God and was ordained through Sponsorship of Jimmy Hester Sr Pastor of ACC. After the closure of ACC Roger attended Highpoint Church, where he continuously showed his Love for God by serving the Church. He would help in anyway he could and would also spread Gods love outside the church. Roger would speak life into people with scripture and helping those that may not have understood what Gods Love is. Roger began to attend Hill City where he volunteered in the Media section of the Church. Rogers previous experience allowed him to help grow Hill City's Media by helping on Sunday and even volunteering on special events.

Rogers Faith was tested with his first bought with death with heart disease sometime in 2011. During this time, he had given up the B&R Contracting to a good friend Eddie Frisby, due to his difficulties working. Doctors were telling Roger they were not sure he would make it, due to the severity of the disease. Upon testing they were planning on open heart surgery, during this time Roger was praying like he never prayed before. Roger never once blamed God but gave thanks to Him. There was no doubt in his Mind that a Healing was on the way.

A few days before the planned surgery the doctors were running tests and noticed the heart was back to normal. They were confused and performed extra tests where they could not find anything. They cancelled the surgery and Roger received his healing.

Roger would call the years after Gods Healing, his bonus years. During this time, he would continue to show the love of God by helping those around him. In 2019 Roger started, Rocking The Neighborhood, an idea he had to bring the local community together for family fun and for those wanting to hear Gods word. Sadly Covid hit and his dream was temporarily put on hold.

During the years following Covid, Roger would explore life the best way he could. Going on cruises with his sister Bonnie, taking his granddaughter Hillary to Saint Martin, and going on camping trips with his grandkids and great grandkids. Roger spent the last few years exploring the world anyway he could.

Sadly, as Roger began to work on Rocking The Neighborhood, his heart began acting up again. It was determined he would need major heart surgery. July 2023 he underwent the procedure, where initially it was looking good. However, his health began to deteriorate quickly until his untimely passing on the Evening of September 4, 2023.

Roger was a husband, father, brother, friend, and the world's most wonderful grandfather.

His presence added a radiant spark to the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him.

While we grieve the loss of this remarkable man, we take solace in the belief that he has ascended to God's glorious kingdom, becoming a joyful citizen of Heaven. Roger's legacy of love and warmth will forever remain in our hearts, a testament to a life well-lived and a love deeply cherished.
