“Your one in a Million”
This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Roger Williams, 63, born on July 28, 1950 and passed away on August 26, 2013. We will remember him forever. He was my best friend and life companion. I will love him forever.
Roger was born in 1950 in Webster City, Iowa. After he completed High School, he enlisted in the US Navy and was stationed in Vietnam and The Philippines. He enjoyed telling stories, family vacations, loved to travel and looked forward to sand dune season, playing in the Imperial Sand Dunes, CA. He was an active member of Love of Christ Lutheran Church where he both worshiped and had worked as their Facilities Manager until he retired in 2010. He will long be remembered for his larger-than-life personality, kind heart, big smile and infectious laugh.
He is survived by his wife, Ginny of Mesa, AZ; his daughter, Jennifer and four grandchildren of Stafford, VA; his brother, Terry of Sacramento, CA and many good friends and family.
A celebration of Roger's life and a reception to follow will be held on September 14th at 10:30 am at Love of Christ Lutheran Church, 1525 N Power Rd, Mesa, AZ 85205. An online memorial can be found at forevermissed.com.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Disabled American Veterans, PO Box 14301, Cincinnati, OH 45250; National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, 901 E Street, NW, Ste 100, Washington, DC 20004 or Love of Christ Lutheran Church, Roger Williams Memorial Fund.

Huge storm up here in Pinetop ended with a mess that kept me distracted from the date. Jenn, Wayne and the Roy grandchildren were here for 10 days. It was fun having them here. We all miss you and believe you are watching over us. Happy Birthday love. Xxoo. Clem
7 years Willy. It doesn,t seem that long and yet, it seems as if you were but a dream. I will remember that weekend that seemed like it lasted a lifetime. I have so many regrets about that Friday and Saturday before you slipped into a coma. I miss you and am sorry for all the events you have missed with the grandchildren. They are all super kiddos. Mark is on a good path with God in his heart. Desi is getting along, but I believe will need some pushing this Senior year for her.
I miss you everyday and wish that you were still here to be able to enjoy our golden years together. We'll be together again some day.
Keep watching out over all of us. I need all the help I can get. What a mess, what a mess I have become.
Your Clem forever. XXOO
2019 was a big year Mark turned 21, Desi turned 17.
Missing you this New Year's Eve. Bitter sweet memories of New Year's Eves past.
