Roger was a childhood friend who I've known since before High School.  He was a neighbor to my Grandmother who lived down the street on Pullman Lane.  He always had a smile on his face and the greatest laugh ever.  The world was a better place because of him.  RIP Roger

💙

My Mom and Dad divorced when I was a young child and I’m truly thankful to have had such a caring and involved Father. My Dad would pick up my sister, Christina and I every single weekend. He took us to our numerous amounts of soccer games and every summer he would take us on a vacation. Many trips camping and fishing and hanging out at Hume Lake where we would bring lunches and swim all day. He taught us how to make a fire, fish, bait a hook, look for the right kind of fire wood, put up a tent, and bath in the freezing cold river.  We took trips to Utah where we would stop in Las Vegas on the way there and back to visit family and spent many summers visiting my stepmothers father and brother where they would take us to lakes and pull us behind their boats for a fun filled day of water skiing. He was such a devoted Father. His family was always number one. Him and Carol were always there to help with my children whenever needed, which was a lot. He loved all his grandchildren so much. I am incredibly lucky to have had such an amazing and devoted Father. A part of my heart is missing now but is being replaced with all the wonderful memories we shared together that definitely will never be forgotten. I love you always and forever Dad.  I know you were welcomed home to your creator with all the family and friends that you loved that have also been welcomed home to their creator before you and I know for sure you will be there to welcome all of us who loved you so much when we are called home. 🙏🏻❤️

A very special person, deeply loved by all. Their kindness and presence will always be remembered.

Thinking about you alot today uncle, it still feels so surreal that you're no longer here with us. Christmas Day is gonna be a tough one, showing up to your house and you're not gonna be there physically. Watching our Lakers 💜💛 play every Christmas Day together will never be the same but it will forever be a memory for the rest of my life that I'll cherish of you with all the other wonderful memories. I miss and love you so much 💔😭

I was so sorry to hear about Roger's passing. He was such a sweet and helpful person. From Meyer family.

Words could never describe this feeling of loss that I feel, not just for myself but for all the lives Roger Medina touched. My papa was a man I looked up to, cherished, loved, and respected. He wasnt just the foundation and the glue, he was also the heart and the stomach because he made it about coming together and sharing stories, laughs, and a good meal. My papa didn’t just teach me how to fish and how to gut my own fish, but he taught me the true meaning of family, what hard work was all about and most importantly, how to be a better person than I was yesterday. He was an honorable man who led by example with his morals and values. His legacy lives in the little things I do on a daily basis and my decision making is impacted by the wisdom he’s shared with me. I’ll hold our memories close and I am thankful for his distinct voice and laugh that lives on and I can still hear. I’m forever grateful for had having a man like him love and care for me, help raise me, and for being a present positive light in my life. I’ll spend the rest of my days honoring him and missing him for he was the most memorable. Thank you Papa, for all that you’ve done for all of us. I love you to the moon and back.

Roger had such a special soul. He was beyond the kindest man I had the pleasure of knowing and working with for almost 26 years. His smile, laugh and guidance in my life will live in my heart forever. It truly was an honor to sit and talk with him. He mentored all of his employees and treated us like family. His heart was so big and he will be missed by so many. Thank you Roger. 

My heartfelt condolences to the whole family. The world is poorer for the loss of Roger 💔🥵❤️‍🩹🙏❤️

Roger, was a man like no other. He was a super special man and a remarkable father.  I have many special memories with him, the family and especially with his irreplaceable daughter, my best friend, Lisa Medina Strahle. I just lost my father approximately 4 years ago (he is pictured with Roger in photo). If I recall we were celebrating a new addition to the family Baby Taylor. Roger and Carol hosted a lovely baby shower and it just goes to show you by looking at this photo, Roger never had acquaintances, he had friends. He treated everyone like someone he had known and loved forever. Just look how he and my father bonded at their first of many BBQ backyard festivities. Roger will never be forgotten and will be dearly missed. I love you all as if you were my own blood. I am so sorry for your deep loss and there are no words really. No words to explain the heart ache I have for you all.
