On September 23, 2022 Roger Linkous, 59, woke up in the arms of Jesus. It was a privilege for his family to surround him as he transitioned from death to eternal life. The information that follows will chronicle Roger’s family, education, employment, etc. While all these things are part of who he was, there is only one thing that matters - Roger loved Jesus and accepted Him as Lord and Savior as a young boy. From that moment, Roger’s place in eternity was sealed forever. God wrote the story of Roger’s life knowing every decision, mistake, triumph and challenge, joy and sorrow that would grow him into the amazing man he was. He faced the uncertainty of his illness with courage, strength, and faith in a future he knew was secure. Roger is healed, he is whole, and he is Home! Hallelujah, what a Savior!
