Life sketch taken from the funeral bulletin
Roger Ryder (58) was born on September 13, 1963, to Walter and Betty (Maune) Ryder in Long Island, New York.
Growing up in a family of four brothers and two sisters, he loved working on cars, hanging with his friends, and working to help support his family.
He met Joyce Lee, the love of his life, on a beach in Long Island. They got married on June 13, 1999. Three children were born to their union, Justin, who died as an infant, Heidi and Jessica. They moved to Kansas to be able to give their girls a better education. They’ve made many wonderful friends in Hillsboro, felt Kansas grow on them and now feel that this is home.
Roger became ill on July 6, 2018. He fought his illness long and hard, but on October 12, 2021, he went to be with his Lord and Savior.
His parents, one sister, Gayle, and one brother, Patrick, precede him in death.
His wife Joyce survives him along with four daughters, Laura (TJ) of Florida, Nicole, Heidi and Jessica of Hillsboro; five grandchildren; three brothers, Walter, John, and Glenn; one sister, Nancy; and many nieces, nephews and other relatives.
Roger enjoyed living his life with Joyce and his girls wishing he could’ve made many more memories. How thankful we are that we have good memories of times with him.
