Roger L Riggins Jr., beloved daddy, husband, brother, uncle, son, and friend to many, passed away Sunday, November 17, 2013 unexpectedly. He was born on March 26, 1977 in Fitchburg, Massachusetts and resided in Port Orange, Florida with his family for the last 8 years.
Roger enjoyed life to the fullest, he could make every situation a funny one. He had the biggest smile and it will never be forgotten. Every person that encountered him he befriended, touched them, and they all took a piece of advise from him that will be carried forward. His heart was full of love and life! In his young years here on earth he accomplished more than we could possibly dream about.
To his children he would say as Christopher Robin said to Pooh "Promise me you'll always remember! You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."
Roger leaves behind four children, Alexis (12), Desiree (9), Mya (7), Elijah (3); his wife and best friend, Chantal; his sister Theresa; his sister Renee and her partner Valerie Miller; sister-in-law, Melissa Brady; his parents, Genevieve Riggins and her husband Mitchell Grey, and Roger Riggins Sr. and his wife Sheila Heywood; his father-in-law, Daniel Brady; his nephews, Ryan Rios, Emilio Rios, Luke Miller, Landen Vaillancourt, and Payton Vaillancourt; and lastly he leaves behind dozens of amazing friends.
A Celebration of Roger's life is being held at Lohman Funeral Home in Port Orange on Saturday November 23 at 2:00 PM. In lieu of flowers contributions can be made to the Riggins Family children during the memorial service at the funeral home on Saturday.
