family in Lake Havasu City at the age of 74. Rodger was born on

As a youth growing up in Orange County, Rodger loved to snow/water ski,
surf and play the bass guitar in a rock n' roll band with his brother
and friends. Rodger used his master machinist skills while working on
military contracts with his father. Rodger was drafted into the Army

the Vietnam War. After the war, Rodger worked at Mobile Oil Refinery in
Southern California where he oversaw the prestigious hydrogen unit.

Rodger moved to Parker in 1987 and worked as the lead Park Ranger at La
Paz County Park. Some of Rodger's favorite past times revolved around
being on the river, he was either out on a flat bottom boat or back home
working on one of his many toys. Rodger also enjoyed golf and spent a
great deal of time on the course. Rodger loved operating remote-control
planes, boats, cars, or just about anything that he could tinker on and
race. Rodger loved spending time with his brother, Greg Reed, and his
many friends.

Rodger is survived by his brother, Chris and Greg Reed, 7 nephews, and
many cousins across the country.
