I miss your smile, your laughter and your shenanigans. I miss you so much, and love you more. Merry Christmas and have a good time at the party celebrating Jesus' birthday.
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.

Leave a tributeI miss your smile, your laughter and your shenanigans. I miss you so much, and love you more. Merry Christmas and have a good time at the party celebrating Jesus' birthday.
A lot has happened over the last year and I wish you were here to share it with all of us. My sweet boy has come home and we have a sister, Robyn. She is a lot like me but has a lot of your mischievousness. I've told her many times how you two would have been best friends too. I wished we would have found each other sooner in life.
I wish you were here to spend your birthday. You would have been right in there with all the others were are about to have the birthday party for. God knows I miss you so much and I feel sick inside every time I think of you gone. I don't think that feeling will ever go away. I was watching a video we made the other day. Smiling , laughing and crying all at the same time.
I love you Bubba.. and miss you more. God and the angels keep you. Happy birthday!
Wanted to tell you, we have a sister. You would love her. She and I are so much alike that it's crazy. Also, my son came back. Through all the happiness, there is still the sadness of missing you. I wish you were here to share in the happiness.
You are always in my thoughts and my heart. I love you Bubba.. miss you so much.
I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. I know you are celebrating Jesus' birthday in style.
We all missed you so much at dinner yesterday, but we also miss you everyday. I heard from someone the other day and they were telling me how much they loved and missed you too. I know you are keeping watch over them. Give them a big hug.

I love you dearly, you are always in my thoughts. Happy birthday Bubba.
Caroline and I was talking the other day and we decided to go to the little restaurant that we all loved to go to and have dinner and celebrate your birthday and your life. We talk about you a lot and how much we miss you. You two made a beautiful couple and I could tell when I looked in yours and her eyes how much you both really cared about each other. I hadn't seen you smile like that in years. I wish I could see that smile on your face again and hear you laughing.
Happy birthday Bubba.. love and miss you dearly.
Anyway Bubba.. we miss you so much, and love you more than you will ever know.
I know you and Robert are now probably having some of your best times now that you both are together and away from those that made you so miserable. I know that if you both were here, there are some that would have never given you any peace. Sorry to say that there are "those kinds of people" here.
Anyways Bubba.. we all love and miss you so much. You will be forever missed. Until we meet again. *hugs*
Happy Birthday and I love you and miss you so much. *hugs*

A bit of your life..
Good morning Bubba.
It has been a year and I miss you now more than ever. I was looking through old photos of you. I've put up a picture of you when you and Robert were little boys. You looked kinda nerdy. *laffin* I remember when that picture was taken. Then there is the one when you came home on leave from the Army. This was December 23, 1975. Seems like yesterday. What is the deal with the Old Spice??? *laffin*
When I look back about all the silly things when we were kids. The running through the house, broke the statue our father gave Glenda and I sat up for hours gluing it back together. I think about the times at the skating rink and when you and Robert dated the identical twins Deborah and Dawn. Oh, and when they put you and Robert in one classroom because you kept switching places. There are so many stories and so many memories.
You've just been the top subject of every conversation here lately. I'm sure you know that. Mom, Caroline and her children and me will all be going out today to celebrate your life. I know that you are there with God and the angels celebrating your life with them. I can hear your laughter and I know you are happy. I love you so much and miss you even more. *hugs*
