Roger attended Bowling Green High School.  Roger worked in Maintenance for KBR at BASF for forty-two years before his retirement in 2019.

Roger enjoyed hunting, cutting wood, and taking rides with Pat on the side by side.  In his spare time, Roger enjoyed going to the drag strip, "piddling in the basement" while drinking beer with his friends and deep frying his famous chicken.  One way he could spend time, with his kids and grandkids was to tell them that he had "chores" for them to do.  Roger's favorite quote was "just one more". He was loved dearly and will greatly be missed by his family and friends.

Roger's family would like to say a special thank you to Rogers Girl's at the James E. Cary Cancer Center, Community Loving Care Hospice, Kenny and Patty Miller, Bryan Jennings and Tim Kurz.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Roger Jennings Family, in care of Smith Funeral Home & Chapel.
