Roger Carver Obituary

February 8, 1954 – July 15, 2023

Roger Allen Carver, 69, passed away Saturday, July 15th, at Franklin Woods Hospital with his family by his side. His biggest joy in life was taking care of others and his favorite thing to do was spend time with his grandkids and his sweet dog, Buddi.

In addition to his parents, Roger was preceded in death by two brothers; Benny Carver and Reece Carver and by his loving wife (just 10 months earlier); Janet Carver.

Those left to cherish his memory include one daughter, Kristy Vest, 2 grandkids, Ashton Vest and Lillie Vest, one brother, Terry Carver, one sister, Sandy Reed, lots of very special sister and brothers-in-law and lots of special nieces and nephews. They all meant so much to Roger.

The family would like to thank Franklin Woods Hospital for taking such good care of Roger during the last 10 days of his life.
