Roger Alan Rettig 67, of Butler went to be with his Savior on September 23,2024.
He was born on August 11,1957 in Butler to the late Alvin G Rettig and Bertha H (Herold) Rettig.
Roger graduated from Butler High School, and he worked for TW Phillips/Peoples Natural Gas Company for 41 years. He was a member of the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Butler.

Roger’s main goal in life was to share Jesus with anyone he came in contact with, from the mailman to the doctors and nurses who cared for him through his 9 year cancer journey. He fought the battle and won. He is now with his Lord and Savior. Roger will be deeply missed by his loving family, who cherish memories of the countless moments they shared together. Always the life of the party, Roger had an unwavering presence at every family gathering, celebration and milestone event. His infectious enthusiasm and joyful spirit brought laughter to all those around him.
