Roger Dale Horton, 62, of Oxford, was welcomed into Heaven on October 7th, 2012, where he will wait for us until we are reunited.

Roger was a loving husband, devoted father, and the strength of his family.

To those who knew and survive him, he will be lovingly remembered as a quiet, wise man.

He was a multi-talented man. He built the home that he and Jane lived in for nineteen years. He was an avid boater, fisherman, hunter, and could fix anything mechanical.
