This memorial website was created in memory of my beloved brother, Roger McClendon, 56, born on November 2, 1957 and passed away on March 22, 2014. We will remember him forever.
I saw that "anonymous" (which we know who they are) had put a memorial on this website. You would think that people writing a memorial would actually "know" about the person they are writing about. Roger was my brother and we were the best of friends. It was sad that he had to sneak off to see me and my mom or he would suffer wrath from "those that loved him for 29 years". If anyone wants to know why only his "real" family and friends were only allowed to see him and say goodbye to him, it was because he was TRULY loved and supported by us. People who TRULY love you do not mistreat you and then divorce you. They also don't tell you when you pass away that they will take your ashes and throw them in the sewer or in the commode (Glenda). Or how about the message the daughter left on his phone the day he went to his mother's and passed away telling him she was relaying a message from her mother, for him to just stay wherever he was and not come home? (Kandi). Lets not forget the boy that Roger raised from a toddler, who he put food in his mouth and clothes on his back that stood up in Roger's face and told him that he wasnt a "real man"? (Jerry). I have all the recordings. That is the facts. It is pathetic when all someone can say about someone they "loved for 29 years" is that he was the finest in carpet and upholtery cleaning.
Son of Archie Lee McClendon and Mary Anita Estes. Roger was born a twin, his brother, Robert Steven McClendon, on November 2, 1957, which happened to be his parent's first wedding anniversary. Roger lived many places due to his father being in the military and then later on, Roger enlisted in the Army himself. He was discharged in December 1978. He owned Creative Carpet Solutions and had customers for many years due to his loyalty and integrity. Many of the customers would tell us stories about how he would bring treats for their little animals when he came to their homes to work, among many others. Roger had this unbelievable capacity to forgive. He was also kind and compassionate. He was silly at times and could make you laugh until you thought you were going to bust. He was very quiet when it came to his feelings, but the morning of his death, I have a special memory of him telling me all the things he loved about me and he gave me a hug and looked at me with that funny smirk he had. I will always cherish that moment. Roger was married only once, but was divorced at the time of his death. He never had any children of his own. The memorial was with his family that loved him dearly and some very close friends. Roger was cremated and destination of his ashes will not be released. Since Roger was such an animal lover, donations were given in his name to a small shelter clinic. He is survived by his mother, Mary (Anita) Peschon, his twin brother, Robert Steven McClendon (deceased April 4, 2015) and his sister, Anita LeNorman. His father, Archie Lee McClendon preceeded him in death, January 4, 2001.
