Our community sadly lost Roger L. Dames on Thursday, September 7 at the age of 74. Roger was born August 5, 1949 in West Point to Willis and Ardean 'Alberts' Dames. He was raised on the farm by Trinity Church with his four brothers. He attended District 25 'Mud Creek' school through the 8th grade, Scribner High School, and later graduated from Wayne State College in Accounting, before returning to Scribner. He worked a long 40 year career in the farming industry for Coop (Snyder and Scribner) and Scribner Grain where he took much joy in helping the local farming industry and making great friends in the community.

Roger married Renee Barker (1975-2001) and together they had 2 children Wayne and April. He was a loving father, brother and grandfather. He is survived by his son (Wayne and Jill Dames and their three children Talan, Brooklyn and Chase), daughter (April and Travis Peterson and their three children Briella, Tenley and Braxton), four brothers (Richard and Susan Dames, Robert and Lori Dames, Ronald and Cheryl 'Tootie' Dames and Reed Dames). Roger was an active member of Trinity Church and a member of St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Scribner. Roger also served his community as a city councilman. Roger enjoyed visiting his children and grandchildren in Phoenix, attending sporting events, crafting woodworking projects, doing home and car repairs and serving his community.

"To the Dames families, I am so sorry for your loss. Roger was always so helpful in the Co-op lumber yard and with paint as I struggled to get the right thing. His woodworking was special. He was very kind and compassionate to work with. I believe Wayne worked for us one summer in the vegetables. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
In sympathy and love, Janis Poppe

"My thoughts and prayers are with the family. While I did not know Mr Dames personally I was so lucky to hear wonderful stories from April about her dad, his brothers and the family farm, as well as what an amazing father and grandfather he was. May those fond memories provide comfort to help you through this difficult time."
