Rodger McKay Holmes passed
away on December 20th, 2014, in
Grand Junction.
Rodger was a kind, gentle and
caring man who loved his family,
his friends, his coffee, and playing
guitar and drums in church.
Rodger served honorably in Vietnam
from 1970 to 1972. He was an
energetic volunteer in the Grand Junction community, helping many
fellow veterans as well as non-veterans suffering from addiction or
who had otherwise fallen on hard times. He was a friend and mentor to
many; he went before his time; we miss him terribly.
Rodger is survived by his son, John Holmes; his daughter-in-law, Patricia
Holmes; three step-children, Bree VanWagenen, Jory (Candice)
VanWagenen, and Tyson (Spencer) Boyer; eight grandchildren; and
one great-grandson.
A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, December 31st, 2014,
at 11:00 a.m. at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 1950 E. 10600 S., Sandy, Utah.
A local memorial service will likely be held at the St. Martin Place
community: please contact Grand Valley Catholic Outreach for more
information.
