Roger you were such a great man. When your son and I dated you and Becky treated me as your own and I had the up most respect for you both and still do. I’m so upset god took yet another great man but at least your pain free now and if I had known you were sick I would have came by to see you. Your love for others was unconditional, chad, jason and Becky were so blessed to have such a wonderful man in their lives. You will never be forgotten and loved forever.

Our deepest and most sincere sympathy goes out to Becky,Chad,Jason and the entire Brenner family. Roger is going to missed dearly. We have had a lot of great times and shared in some not so good times but our friendship has always been there. And I know that he knew that our family would always be here for Becky,Jason and Chad in their time of need. We were so fortunate to have had Roger as a friend. And all I can say to Becky,Chad and Jason is thank God for our memories. They are so precious and last forever. There may be moments that hit you at any given time that will bring back a memory of your husband Becky or your dad Chad and Jason. But just take it as a sign that he is with you and always will be. And that’s a good thing. We loved Roger as any friend could love another friend. And we are going to miss him. May God comfort you during this time in need.
