Roger was an avid outdoorsman and family man. He loved hunting, fishing, gardening and logging. His to do list might keep him outdoors for most of the day, but he always made time for an afternoon of riding his Harley or hitting the lake for fishing or diving. Watching the birds at the feeders, especially the hummingbirds, were some of his favorite times. Roger owned his own logging company early in life and then moved on to Labor Union 563 to ensure a comfortable retirement.

Roger met Sandi (Zenk) Chamberlain in late 2017 and there was an instant connection. They were married on November 11, 2019.

Roger is survived by his wife, Sandra; four children, Eli (Staci), Amber (Elliott), Yvonne, Heidi (Andrew); seven siblings, Ruth (Dave), Marie (John), Dale (Debbie), Karen (Clark), Nancy, Dennis and Julie; 15 grandchildren; previous partner Patty Jo and her children, David, Nick and Jodi.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Leila and Darold Howell and previous spouse, Debra Ehrhorn. 

Arrangements are by the Brenny Family Funeral Chapel, Staples.

Flowers and cards can be mailed to The Bears Den.
