Roger Eugene Westfall

Roger Eugene Westfall – Tulsa, went to be with our Lord on December 27, 2023. Born May 22,1941 to Clarence and Ruby Westfall in Athens, Ohio.

Roger moved with his family to Tulsa when he was in 7th grade where he attended Cleveland JH. On the first day of classes in Tulsa, the bell rang ending first period. Roger went home thinking school was over for the day because he came from a one-room school house where the bell ringing signaled the end of the school day.

During junior high, Roger competed in the “Flying” rings, Pommel horse and Parallel bars, achieving Regional Champion for all three apparati. He graduated from Rogers High School where he was a varsity wrestler. Roger graduated with a B.S. in Engineering from the University of Oklahoma where he wrestled on scholarship and was a member of Sigma Nu fraternity.

After college, Roger enlisted in the United States Army and was subsequently deployed to Vietnam. He was honorably discharged three years later with the rank of Staff Sergeant.

One of his notable hobbies at that time was stock car racing. He was also an avid quail hunter with his hunting dog Rusty, a bass fisherman who could catch fish without bait and golfer. A pro golfer in the Army told Roger he should turn pro when he is discharged.

He was preceded in death by his parents and sister Wanda Brown and nephew Daytona Wilson. Survived by beloved wife of 59 years, Moorea (Moe), daughters Marnie Freeman (Kevin) and Tracy Gallemore (Steve). Granddaughters Madysen and Kieryn Freeman and Kaitlyn Gallemore. Nieces and nephews Marchelle Suntken and her two children Hunter and Hailey. Brother-in-law Butch Wilson. Niece and nephews Ashley Cagle, Heath Wilson and Boone Wilson and several great nieces and nephews.
