Roger A. Edwards
December 2, 1943 – September 9, 2023
Entered into rest on Saturday, September 9th, 2023 at the age of 79. Loving father of Debra Derrington and Paula Lewis, cherished Papaw of Vanessa (Larry) Willis, Robby (Kerry) Derrington, Ty (Jessica) Derrington, Valerie (Ken) Dellinger, Eric (Amber) Evans, and Andrew (Lexi) Evans, beloved great-Papaw of 10, dear brother to Carlin Edwards, Jr. and Shirley (John) Connor. Dear uncle and friend to many. He is preceded in death by his parents and 3 siblings.
Roger proudly served in the United States Marine Corps before dedicating over 40 years to the construction industry as a skilled contractor. A master woodworker, his expertise and creativity shone through his craftsmanship. It brought him so much joy to build things- so much that he passed this art down to his grandsons.
With a quick wit and a mischievous grin, he had a talent for making everyone in the room laugh. His humor was infectious, brightening the lives of all those in his company. Above all, Roger cherished the moments spent with his family, especially his great grandkids. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Cremation has taken place and services will be private.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Roger’s name may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project.”
