Roger Hosey

Roger Charles Hosey passed away on September 2, 2023 after a sudden and unexpected illness.
He was born on January 18, 1961 to Roger Dale and Kathleen (Ballard) Hosey.
Roger, also known as Chuck or Chuckie to friends and family, had a big heart and was quick to
help friends and family in need. His advice and assistance will be missed by many.
Roger had a gregarious nature and a lot of family and friends with whom he enjoyed spending
time. He loved to tell stories (some would say “tall tales”). He enjoyed outdoor activities such
as fishing, hunting, and trail riding on ATVs. He valued the peace and quiet of nature so much
that he built himself a shack in the woods to “get away from it all.”
Roger was a man of many talents. His knowledge and skills in construction kept him busy with
many home maintenance, renovation and building projects, including several trips out-of-state
to rebuild after natural disasters such as hurricanes. He took great pride in the precision and
craftsmanship of his work. Likewise, his skill as a mechanic kept many vehicles on the road
when repairs elsewhere may have been too expensive.
Roger’s pride and joy, however, were his boys, Kolten Hosey and Dalton Hosey. He was beyond
proud that they have grown into the respectful, responsible, helpful and hard-working young
men that they are.
Roger is survived by his wife Debora Goodner, his sons Kolten and Dalton, his sister and
brother-in-law Rae and Jeff Murphy, nieces Kathryn Murphy (and her husband Dan Rasey),
Cassady Brege (Andrew Brege) and Aubrey Vandemark (Tyler Vandemark), step-children Sara
Clark, Tori Clark, and Michael Clark, seven step-grandchildren and four great nieces and
nephews. A Celebration of Life memorial will be held on Saturday, September 23, 2023 at 2:00
p.m. at the Kalamo Township Hall.
