Roger Dean Peterson, age 62, of the Poplar “capitol of the world” community passed away unexpectedly on January 3rd, 2025. He was a son of the late Marvin and Peggy Letterman Peterson. In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by a sister, Wanda Peterson Miller and a nephew, Andy Austin.
Roger enjoyed taking rides on his four-wheeler, fireworks on the 4th of July, and loving on his dogs, Max and Pandora. He was a huge supporter of the Carolina Pushrodz car show in Poplar, spending countless hours mowing and building picnic tables for the event. He was a very quiet person until you got him going.
