Roger was born on September 18, 1932, in Boonville, NC, son of the late Winfield McKinley Snow and Elma Moser Snow. Roger served in the US Army from 1954 to 1956 as corporal at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. He was married to his wife of sixty-five years, Ulean Hayes Snow, who passed in 2017. He was a member of the American Legion Dick Norris Post 113 and served on the funeral honor detail. For the majority of his working career, Roger worked as a driver at Pilot Freight Carriers for thirty years and was a member of Teamsters Union 391. He went on to work as a lane captain at Manheim Auto Auction for twenty-two years. Roger was a member at Holly Springs Baptist Church where he served as a deacon and Sunday School Teacher.

Roger loved his family dearly. He loved to farm and raise a garden. For his entire life, he took special care of his black Angus cattle, his German Shepherd dogs, and his beloved cats.

Roger lived by example with a servant heart. He loved the Lord and faithfully followed Him daily.

Those left to cherish Roger’s memory include his daughter, Rev. Sharon Snow and a number of nieces and nephews.

Roger’s friends and family knew him to be humble, helpful, honest, and kind. He was always there for others, to love and cherish, to uphold and affirm.
