Roger was born July 25, 1944 in Grand Island, the son of Howard R. and Hilda (Samway) Whitefoot. He grew up and received his education in Grand Island, graduating from Grand Island Senior High, class of 1962. He also attended the University in Kearney. In May of 1965 Roger married Janet Henke. They were the proud parents of three daughters, Kimberly, Kelli and Cami. He enjoyed working with wood and following high school worked for time at Sothman Lumber before working in his parent’s business, Whitefoot Produce. Roger spent nearly his entire life working in the building industry. He sold building supplies for Speltz-Schultz Lumber Co. and Mid-Nebraska Cabinets, was a self-employed carpenter and handyman, and most recently was a project manager with Mehring Construction. A servant at heart, Roger believed in giving back. Following the death of his daughter, Cami, Roger granted a “Make A Wish” to a child by building an addition on the child’s bedroom. He also helped his wife with her business, Elle Salon and Spa. Roger loved his children and grandchildren; they were very important to him. In addition, he loved fishing and the time spent at their cabin on Sherman Lake. He was a member of Peace Lutheran Church of Grand Island, King of Kings Lutheran Church of Omaha, Nebraska State Home Builders Association, and the Salvation Army Board. Those who will cherish Roger’s memory include his wife, Janet; daughters, Kimberly (Stacey) Hord of Omaha and their children, Derek (Erica), Alexa and Gabrielle; and Kelli (Jeff) Shaner of Fort Calhoun and their sons, Cameron, Ethan and Morgan. He is also survived by two nephews and a niece; extended family and many friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Cami; and brother and sister-in-law, Ronald and Lois Whitefoot.
