Roger was born on January 17, 1944, to Denny and Mildred Linford in Panguitch. His unwavering discipline and dedication to his work began at an early age while working on the church farm with his siblings and Dick Excell during his high school years. He graduated from Panguitch High School in 1962, and shortly after married Loretta Talbot and later divorced. They had two daughters together, Michelle and Heather, who were his pride and joy. His hardworking demeanor carried over to his lifelong work in the lumber industry at Kaibab Forest Products and later at Frandsen Lumber for Kevin Frandson and family. As a long-standing resident of Panguitch, Roger was known for his warm smile and meticulous kept yard. When not at work, he could be found cutting firewood or reeling in fish at Otter Creek. His family would like to sincerely thank the medical staff at Garfield Memorial Nursing Home for the care that Roger received there as a resident, with special thanks to Jessica Tate and Dr. Birch. Per Roger’s request, there will be no funeral services held. His final resting place will be at Panguitch Cemetery. Cremation in the Magleby Mortuary and Cremation Center.
