Roger Eugene Minor

    Roger Eugene Minor, 84, of Laurelville, entered into Heaven on August 5, 2023 at Wyngate of Circleville. He was born November 9, 1938, in Chillicothe, the son of the late Carroll and Evelyn (Fox) Minor. On January 28, 1961, he united in marriage with his loving wife, Clara Jackie (Easterday) Minor, who survives.

    Roger is also survived by his beloved children, Candy (Donnie) Lee, Holly (Jason) Farris, and Chris (Becky) Minor; grandchildren, Cory and Cody Dunton, Dawson and Avery Farris, and Evan and Aden Minor; sisters, Donna (Russ) Kempton and Nancy (Terry) Chaffin; several nieces and nephews; special friends at Steve’s Village Inn and his favorite waitress, Amber Stewart; and numerous other special family members and friends whom he cherished.    

    Roger was a 1956 graduate of Kingston High School. He worked as a farmer for many years and retired from Roadway Express Trucking after 17 years of service. Roger enjoyed hunting, fishing, the Buckeyes and the Browns. But, his greatest joy was being a grandpa and spending time with family frying fish and making homemade ice cream. He will be greatly missed.

    The family would like to thank the Columbus Area National Church Residences Hospice Team, specifically, Kris, Kelly and Bruce, for their care of Roger during his illness.

    Funeral services will be held on Friday, August 11, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. at the HILL FUNERAL HOME, Kingston with Chaplain Bruce Benzing officiating. Burial will follow in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Kingston. The family will receive friends Thursday from 4 - 7 p.m. at Hill’s. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made in Roger’s honor to National Church Residences Foundation (Columbus Area) (2335 N. Bank Drive, Columbus, OH 43220)  Condolences and floral gifts can be made on Roger’s online guest registry at www.hillfhkingston.com.
