Leave a tribute for Roger Walter Moon.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Becca and family in the passing of Roger. We always enjoyed talking with Roger and Becca as we sat in adjacent pews at First Baptist. Roger would often say we “had their backs” since we sat directly behind them. A good man who will surely be deeply missed.
Roger was a great guy and will be missed terribly, he always had a smile on his face. Prayers for the family.
