Roger Alan Healy 4/1/1948 ~ 3/20/2005

Roger Alan Healy, age 56, passed away at his home in Clovis, California on Sunday, March 20th, 2005 after a year-long, valiant, battle with cancer. Roger grew up in the Salt Lake valley and attended Skyline High School. He also received a bachelor's degree from the University of Utah. Afterward, Roger spent two years in London England as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On June 29, 1971, he married Carole Hardy in the Salt Lake Temple. Roger served in the United States military for 26 years, achieving the rank of Colonel, and traveled the world with various assignments. After retiring from the military, he had the privilege of being a JROTC instructor at McLane High School in Fresno, California for eight years. For years, Roger had a strong desire to teach, and while there, he developed a fondness for his students, teaching them that they could better their lives through a combination of education, hard work, and a positive attitude. Roger loved athletics and believed in keeping his body healthy. He had a passion for cycling and the outdoors. He rode all through California, Texas, Virginia, Washington D.C., and across Iowa on his bike. Roger's life was spent helping people see that they could overcome adversity and succeed. He loved his family and his God and often sacrificed his own desires for those of his family. He magnified the talents he was given in life and shared them with others in hopes to make their lives better. He is survived by his wife Carole and his children Brandon (Stacie), Mathew (Emily), Nathan, Kevin, Melissa, and his granddaughter, Ella. Funeral services will be conducted by Cannon Mortuary at the Cottonwood 8th Ward located at 6250 S. 8th E. at 12 Noon on Friday the 25th of March. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Lance Armstrong Foundation for Cancer Research in Roger's name.

Roger was always a classy guy.  I enjoyed refereeing little league and high school football with him.  I respected his service in the military.

Roger was a great friend.  During high school and before I joining the Marine Corps, Roger and I spent a great deal of time together.  We played football, skied, fished and worked.  We took fishing trips to a small lake in southern Utah.  Along the way, we always stopped at Ray’s Café.  Roger even met a girlfriend there.  We build a room in the attic of my Mother’s restaurant, The Christopher, in Park City.  After closing, we would take a bath in the pot sink before going to bed in the attic.  In the morning, we would boil some eggs and eat breakfast riding up the gondola.  Wonderful times.
