Roger Eugene Berry

Roger Eugene Berry, beloved husband, father, and friend, passed away at his home South Jordan, Utah on July 21, 2024. He was born on November 11, 1946, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. 

Roger led a life full of diverse interests and talents. He was a skilled fabricator welder, mechanic, and handyman who could fix just about anything. With a passion for collecting items that might prove useful one day, he found joy in the simple act of preserving memories.
