Roger was simply a happy go lucky type in­dividual with a “here I am world” kind of grin on his face.

During his time in law enforcement, Roger worked with the Norman Police Dept, the Oklahoma ABLE Com­mission and the Chicka­saw Nation, from which he had recently retired from. Currently, he was employed with the Davis Public School System.

Roger was an avid fan of the Davis Wolves and the OU Sooners. He loved spending time with his family and friends, es­pecially when it came to vacationing on a beach somewhere or taking a cruise. Roger was a mem­ber of the First Baptist Church of Davis.

Survivors include his wife, Jeanie; two sons, Jeff Jennings and wife, Jodi of Davis and Josh Jennings and wife, LaKrista of Sulphur; his father, Robert Jennings of Davis; five grandchil­dren, Jaylee, Jett, Lexi, Madux and Jax; as well as his father and mother­in-law, Paul and Pat Gray of Davis.

Roger was preceded in death by his mother, Joyce in Sept. 2004.
