Roger Dale Damron, 81, of Dingess, West Virginia, passed away peacefully on September 3, 2025. Born on March 24, 1944, Roger lived a life marked by faith, family, and hard work.

Roger was a member of Tony Christian Fellowship Church, where his faith in the Lord guided his life. He devoted more than 45 years to the coal mining industry, serving as a superintendent and earning the respect of many throughout the community. Known for his leadership, work ethic, and integrity, Roger made a lasting impact on those he worked with and mentored. 

After his retirement, Roger enjoyed a quieter life at home with his beloved wife Loretta, where he could be found caring for their pets or spending time with his family and friends. His love for animals was evident, and he cherished the companionship of their schnauzer, Annabelle, along with the memory of other beloved pets Isabella and Hensen.

Roger was preceded in death by his parents, Bill and Cleo Damron; his brothers, Wade, Ronnie, Billy Gene, Larry, and Robert Damron.
