to Huey and Esther Littlefield. At age 13, he came to Texas to live with his sister and her husband. Roger went to work with his brother-in-law, who began teaching him the trade of auto paint and body.
While at Brewer High School, he advanced his knowledge of auto repair through the paint and body trade class. After graduating in 1970, he went on to college for two years while still working a full time job. He joined the Texas Army National Guard in July, 1971.
On Aug. 28, 1971, he married his high school sweetheart, Charlsea Barger. They have been married for over 46 years.

He retired in 2016 after 17 years with FEMA. Roger never met a stranger. His contagious smile, outgoing personality, great sense of humor and storytelling ability always made him stand out.
He could fix almost anything, and if he didn’t know, he would find out on YouTube. He and Charlsea have always traveled and enjoyed multiple trips since retirement. He loved old country music, singing it and dancing to it.
