Roger was born in Butler on April 13, 1960. He was the son of Raymond Moore of Chicora and the late Vonda Walker Moore.

Roger loved his family and friends dearly as he would say, “I’m a very lucky man.” He enjoyed hunting for arrowheads (even in the rain), collecting bottles, especially his favorite, cure bottles, coin collecting, antique shopping, kayaking, hunting, and fishing.
