1945 - 2024
 Fifty four years is not enough his beloved wife spoke, a world without the love of her life Roger Dale Brown.
Roger Dale Brown of Ona, WV entered into this world on June 15, 1945 and entered Heavens gates on April 21, 2024. He was the son of the late Christina Belle (Meadows) Alexander and Boyd Isaiah Brown. Welcoming him home are his grandparents Samuel T. Meadows Sr. and Winnie Meadows; three brothers, Kenneth Brown, Billy “Red” Brown, and Michael Alexander; his sister Debra Dianne Brown; along with family and friends who have gone before.
Keeping his memories alive are his wife of 54 years Donna Brown; one daughter and son-in-law, Amber and Clayton Ferguson; three grandsons (The Boys), Gabriel, Sawyer and Owen Ferguson. He also had the honor of having a step grandson Ethan and a step great grandson Felix.
Roger was a retired Barber, Corrections Officer and Professional Bounty Hunter. He was blessed to have numerous friends and family members whom he loved to play jokes on, telling tall tales and being an all-round prankster. He loved to make life an adventure. A simple one hour trip would be filled with a lifetime of memories. One never knew where the journey would end up when you took a trip with Roger. His favorite past time was spending time with “The Boys”. He truly loved his grandsons and enjoyed teaching them the joys of life. Roger was a masterful guitarist who played professional for many years. His favorite was playing for the Pleasant Valley Healthcare Center in Point Pleasant, WV. He loved to bring joy to those around him. To say he will be missed is an understatement. A legacy of memories and crazy stories he will leave. Until we meet again in Heaven I love you Daddy forever, your baby girl. Friends and family will gather Sunday, April 28, 2024 at Wallace Funeral Home in Barboursville, WV from 2-3 p.m. with a services beginning at 3 p.m. Officiating will be his friend Pastor Charlie Langdon. No graveside service will be performed. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.timeformemory.com/wallace.

He was more than Family he was my friend. I miss him, playing poker, going to a flea market, talking about things that may have been tall tales but then you would see on some investigative show Roger was right... I will never forget him going to the flea market with two Stetson Hats and a couple hours later calling dad because he needed another truck to haul his trades he got.... He has been, is, and will always be my friend.

Roger loved to make people laugh. He was constantly cutting up to make someone laugh even if that someone was himself. Once his high pitched cackle got going you couldn’t help but laugh too. My wife remembers meeting him in January of 1989 when she was in high school. 35 years later she still remembers him pulling pranks and doing silly impressions. He seemed more like your favorite crazy uncle than he did a cousin. He always seemed to have a smile on his face.
I remember just one time he wasn’t smiling. It was because I had done something that put me in harms way by not noticing what was around me and he gave me an ear full for it. He taught me to be aware of my surroundings and to look for the little things around me and in the people I encounter. It is a lesson I never forgot and it has served me well in life and my career to this day.
My biggest regret is that my kids never got the opportunity to meet him. They have heard the story of him blowing up the outhouse several times. They still are curious as to how much of the story is true.
My deepest sympathies to Donna, Amber, Clayton, and the boys. My family and I grieve with you. Roger, I know we will see each other again someday. You will be easy to find. I’ll just look for the people in heaven laughing there heads off and I’ll find you standing in the midst of them weaving yet another outrageous and hilarious tale to the amusement of all. Where I’ll hear, again, your signature laugh.

I have never known a time in my life that Roger was not in it. I will miss his zany antics. What I wouldn’t give got one more cost.

Roger could lighten anyones mood when he was around. He was always doing something to make someone laugh even if it was just for him and once he got started with that high pitched cackle no one around could keep a straight face.
My wife remembers meeting him in January of 1989 when she was in high school. 35 years later and she still talks about him pulling pranks. I only remember one time where he wasn’t smiling and it’s because i had inadvertently put myself in danger by not being observant of what was going on around me. He taught me what to look for in my surroundings and in people. It is a skill I cherish to this day and it serves me well in my career. My biggest regret is that my kids never got the chance to meet him. They have heard the story of him blowing up the outhouse several Times and still wonder how much of it is true. He truly will be missed. My deepest sympathies to Donna, Amber, and the boys. Roger, I know I will see you again. You will be easy to find, I’ll just look for the crowd of people laughing their heads off in heaven.

Oh Roger. Words can not express the sadness I'm feeling right now. You were absolutely my favorite, goofiest family member. The memories that is think back on with you and I, Especially the time we spent the night in the camper at my house in Bethesda. We laughed ALL durn night and probably honestly only got hour or two of sleep. I'll miss you until we meet again. I love you Roger Dale. Tell mom and dad hi for me. RIP my friend
