Roger Duane Witter was born January 6, 1949, in Storm Lake, IA, the only son of Charles and Bonnie (White) Witter. After high school he joined the Army, serving from 1968-70 and then served two years in the Reserves. He was united in marriage to Lynn Grothus in 1977, in Davenport, and she preceded him in death on November 6, 2021.

Prior to his retirement in 2018, he worked in the gas department of MidAmerican Energy for over 40 years.

He loved watching NASCAR (especially Mark Martin), occasional trips to the casino, and playing softball when he was younger. Family came first and he loved the time spent with them. He was his son and granddaughter’s number one fan and never missed one of their sporting events. If you needed a helping hand, Roger’s was always ready.

Those left to honor his memory include his son Jeffrey Stormer of Rock Island; granddaughters Madison Stormer of Rock Island, Sydney Bell of Davenport, Brittany Bell of Cedar Rapids, great grandchildren Nyla Jo, Aaliyah, Kendall, Milaya, Kannon, and Kova; sister Laurie (Allen) Bland of Newell; and many nieces and nephews.

Additionally, he was preceded in death by his parents, and sister Linda Hill.
