Roger Herman Wilkins

Roger Herman Wilkins, aged 81, passed away peacefully on February 10, 2025, in Sodus, Michigan. Born on February 2, 1944, in Chicago, Illinois, he was a proud son to the late Roger and Anneliese (Lehmbruch) Wilkins. Roger served with distinction in the U.S. Navy, after which he dedicated his career to engineering, where his ingenuity and diligence left a lasting impact. 

A cherished father, Roger is survived by his two sons, Paul and Roger Wilkins, and his five grandchildren. Predeceased by his beloved longtime partner, Donna Beeler, Roger's legacy of love and strength will continue through his family.

An avid collector of nautical paraphernalia, his passion for the sea was evident throughout his home and life, capturing the wonder of the waters he once sailed. Roger's departure is a loss to all who knew him, and he will be profoundly missed.
