April 12, 1938 ~ May, 24 2012
It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Roger James Matkovich on May 24th, 2012 at 74 years of age. Roger lost his fight with cancer surrounded by his loving family. He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 50 years, Gloria, son Glen (Lena), brothers Gary (Lucille), Gerald (Bev), sister Wendy (Ron), granddaughter Tyanna (Phil) as well as three nieces and five nephews.
Roger was predeceased by his parents, Helen and Wencel.
Roger was a devoted husband and friend. He will be remembered for his witty sense of humor and willingness to always help others. Roger spent 42 years in the trucking industry, mostly hauling heavy equipment for Robo Transport and Darlen Transport. Roger always said he was like Hank Snow, "I've been everywhere, man." When he wasn't trucking he was hooked up to his trailer and off camping or exploring the country. Roger will always be loved and missed by all who knew him.
A Tea to honor Roger will be held at the Kamloops Funeral Home on Saturday, June 9, 2012, at 2:00 p.m.
A special thank you to all the ladies at the Kamloops Hospice House, Dr. Van Heerden and Ardith.
Memorial donations in Roger's memory, may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Cr., South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9, if friends so desire.
