age 89, of St. Louis, MO passed away peacefully on August 21, 2022. Roger was born on Novem- ber 12, 1932 to Dorothy and Oliver Dahmer. Beloved husband of the late Dolores Dahmer (nee
Kellerman); dearest father to three daughters: Cindy (Mark) Breihan, Donna (Ken) Carney and Patty (Bud) Watkins; loving grandpa to: Todd and Julie; Matt, John and Shannon; Scott, Kristin and Nick and great grandfather to: Devin, Austin, Owen, Aubrey, Taylor, Princeton, Cole and Quinn; beloved brother, brother- in-law, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend to many.
After honorably serving his country in the U.S. Army, stationed in Fairbanks AK, during the Korean War, Roger joined the engineering department at Anheuser Busch where he worked for 37 years until he retired. He and his family understandably took great pride in this career. A popular long-term resident of Friendship Village of Sunset Hills, Roger was a sharp card player and a winning golfer who loved to travel. Roger was known for his patience, devotion to his wife and family, deliberate approach to all decisions, and keen awareness of the value of a dollar combined with generosity of spirit. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

My sincere sympathy Patty. I know you dearly loved your Dad. He will now be with your Mom. I’m sure he is smiling joining her. May all your loving, fun family times bring you peace. Blessings, Kathy
Mary Ann Akers (née Swayne) was in Delores and Rogers wedding. They were friends of hers for many years. She asked that I find Roger’s death notice and read it. She said it described him to a tee! He was always kind and so was his parents. She talked Delores into walking to their home the day of their wedding to show the family all the dresses and suits. Memories!
You’d think they would have enough for the card game they decided to play in haven with the 5 people that we’ve listed this year in our family. Our hearts will be forever aching without all of them. Your family is in our family thoughts and prays for today tomorrow and always.
