Roger Alan Dodd Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Roger Alan Dodd, 59, was born to Dorothy and Jackson Dodd on March 22, 1957 in Lubbock, TX. He died suddenly in his home in Lindsay, OK on October 16, 2016. Roger moved with his family to Lindsay, OK from Tishomingo, OK in 1966 where he attended and graduated from Lindsay High School in 1975. He attended college at Oklahoma University and East Central University. As a well service engineer, operations supervisor, then sales representative with the Western Company and BJ Services, and eventually operating his own consulting business, “Red Dirt Consulting”, the oil field largely dictated his residences in Oklahoma and Texas for several years. Prior to moving back to Lindsay in 2011, the place he called home was Weatherford, OK where he served on the athletic board of directors at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. Since Roger never married, it was here he found a sense of family and deep comradery with many of the university students and athletes he called “my kids”. Roger loved sports and could recite statistics and names of prominent and professional athletes with the snap of a finger. He was an avid OU football fan and closely followed OKC Thunder basketball. For a time, he bred and raised Great Danes. He is preceded in death by his babies, Montana, Tahoe, and Babe. Roger also enjoyed woodworking and riding his Harley motorcycle he dubbed, “The Golden Eagle”. “R-2’s” (PGR call sign) great passion, though, was riding with the Oklahoma Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) where he rose to the rank of “Ride Captain”. His love and compassion for our military and their sacrifices prompted him to join this amazing group of men and women. He and The Golden Eagle spent many hours on the road honoring our fallen heroes. Roger was preceded in death by his loving parents, Dorothy and Jackson Dodd, both of Lindsay. He leaves behind two brothers and a sister: Steve Dodd of Bedford, TX; Jeff Dodd of Highland Village, TX; and Sheralyn King of Dodge City, KS, four nephews, one niece, two great nephews, one great niece, two aunts, and twelve cousins, along with a plethora of dear friends. Roger never met a stranger. Those who knew him will surely miss the essence of his kind soul of giving all he had to others before he gave to himself. We will miss you, your sense of humor, and your quick witted Roger-isms.
