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.

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
