Roger Dale Holman, age 70, of Brownstown, passed away peacefully on Sunday morning, March 23, 2025, at his home surrounded by his loving family. Mr. Holman was a member of Mount Eden Christian Church. Roger was a compassionate man, always eager to assist anyone in need.

He was also a committed member of the Eagles for 10 years. He had a great love for his dogs, Little Man and Shorty.
