| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Tuesday, March 31, 2015 <<< >>> March 30, 1938 — March 18, 2015 <<< Roger D. Erickson passed away March 18, just shy of his 77th birthday. Roger was born and raised in Newberg Corners, Wis. where his mother, Marjorie and father, Raymond ran a small convenient gas station (Erickson’s General Store). Later, Roger moved to Kenosha, Wis. where he began to work at the American Motors Company plant. After working 37 years in the auto industry, Roger retired in 1994 and headed west to Lake Havasu City, with his wife, Barb and their two boys. Roger enjoyed deer hunting, horseshoes, watching the Packers (most of the time), tinkering in the garage, and the occasional card game; but most of all he enjoyed being around his friends and loved ones. Roger is survived by his wife, Barbara Erickson; and kids, Brad and Katie Erickson, Debbie and Steve Hartfield, Chris Erickson, Ryan and Nikki Erickson, Mike and Patsy Lippert, Craig and Linda Lippert, Tammy and Dave Venturini, and last but not least, Kari and Gary Strom. Combined, Roger was blessed with 15 grandchildren and one great- grandchild. He was preceded by his mother and father, Raymond and Marjorie Erickson; and his brothers, James and Thomas Erickson. A family get-together celebrating Rogers life will be in Lake Havasu City. In lieu of sending flowers, (and to keep the Mars Candy Company in business), next time you’re in the grocery store line, purchase a Snickers candy bar and enjoy it in Roger’s honor. Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home and Crematory. Thoughts and condolences may be sent to the Erickson family at www.lietz-frazefuneralhome.com. |
