Roger was born in Amherst, Ohio to native southerners and found himself living in Decatur, Tennessee as a young boy, where he made treasured memories with his many siblings and cousins. His family moved to River Rouge, MI in 1957 where he attended River Rouge High School. Roger remained in Michigan for many years where he worked for BASF and eventually as a supervisor at Detroit Edison.
In 1991, Roger moved with his family to Gallatin, Tennessee, where he started Aggies Print & Copy (originally known as Artware Graphic Services). Other than starting a good bonfire, Roger loved to spend time creating and producing his own jazz music, reading, and perfecting his pizza recipe. Roger was a lifelong fan of Detroit Tigers baseball and a casual observer of the Tennessee Titans.
He is preceded in death by parents, McCoy and Anna Jolley Fitzgerald; siblings, Shirley Knipp and Loretta Gibbs; brother-in-law, Don Akers; nephew, Patrick Gibbs, and niece, Patricia Stoneburner. He is survived by wife of 18 years, Mary Fitzgerald of Gallatin; children, Laura Fitzgerald (Alan DiMattia) of Charlotte, NC, Julie Thacker (Heath) of Gallatin, Daniel DaCosta of Gallatin, and Laura Gaines (Grant) of Mt. Juliet; grandchildren, Keira of Charlotte, NC, Zoe of Gallatin, and Ava of Mt. Juliet; siblings, Mary Akers of Pleasant Shade and Mike Fitzgerald of Gladdice; uncle, C. L. Jolley of Decatur; nephew, Tom Keefer (Kathy) of Spring City, and a plethora of other family and friends.
