Obituary of Roger A. Prather
PRATHER, Roger Andre, Sr. of Saginaw, MI. Passed away on Monday, October 7, 2019 at his home. He was 67 years old. Roger was born August 18, 1952 in Padaucah, KY to George and Thelma (Rogers) Prather. He married Mary Hernandez in May 2000 in Saginaw, MI. She survives him. Roger worked as a truck driver for Collins Transport for most of his career. When Collins Transport closed, he later drove for various other trucking services until he retired. Roger was a faithful and active member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses at the Kingdom Hall in Buena Vista for many years. Roger enjoyed working in the back yard, scrapping and fishing. He could often be found taking cars apart and putting them back together. Roger cared deeply for his family, often showing his love by doing the “little things” for them. He loved his whole family, but his grandchildren and great-grandchildren were his pride and joy.
