Roger Allen Healy passed with family by his side on August 5, 2026, in Otsego, MI. He was born to his late parents Marshall and Elaine (Russon) Healy on November 26, 1949, in Allegan, MI.

Roger served his country and brothers in arms for his two service terms honorably. After his military career, he married Karen (Ellis) Annerino and then Anita (McKerchie) Sweeter. He was a supervisor at Perrigo and then moved over to truck driving before early retirement due to a work accident. Roger also served on the Hopkins Fire Department for many years. Outside of work he loved going for motorcycle rides, camping, hanging out with his friends, watching the show Gunsmoke, and helping people in need. He loved to go around as a handman to anyone that needed assistance. Roger was faithful every Veteran’s Day for his free breakfast. Another joy of his was taking a road trip with his camper and Harley down to Scottsdale Arizona to visit his siter Barbara Melberg. Roger loved serving his friends and community whenever he could. The Army instilled within him the duty to take care of the people beside you, and he did that well.
