Roger was born on June 28, 1954, in Pawnee, OK to Jacob "Tom" Lentz and Secene Merriman Lentz. He graduated from Pawnee High School in 1972 and married Rebecca Soutee in January 1975.

He also spent several years working in the oil fields. He was a good man whose dedication to the land reflected his strong character, perseverance, and deep appreciation for a simple, honest, country way of life.

Roger was known for his warm personality and generous spirit. He loved to laugh, dance, and tell stories, often bringing smiles to those around him. He never met a stranger and had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel welcome. Whether sharing a story, lending a helping hand, or enjoying time with family and friends, Roger left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

He is survived by his son, Jeffrey Evan Lentz of Pawnee, Oklahoma; his daughter, Jamie Rebecca Lentz of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and his brother, Tommy Lentz of Pasco, Washington. He is also survived by a multitude of other family members and many dear friends who will cherish his memory.

Roger was preceded in death by his parents, Tom and Secene Lentz, and by his brother, Marvin Lasater Lentz.
