Roger Keith Balzer WHITEHOUSE, Texas -- Roger Keith Balzer, my ever loving, ever forgiving, adorable, dimpled, soul mate, has gone on to be with his heavenly Father and his family and friends who have gone before him. Roger knew no strangers, always had a smile and handshake for everyone he met. His funny stories, his quirks, (not watching Green Bay play, he might jinx the game), his warm friendly smile, twinkle in his eyes were great comforts for many an AA'er during Roger's 42 years of sobriety. He will be missed but not forgotten by everyone who knew him. A memorial service for Roger Keith Balzer, 85, of Whitehouse, Texas, will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 16, at Stewart Family Funeral Home in Tyler, Texas, with Pastor Matt Rose officiating. Roger passed away Saturday, Jan. 2, 2021, in Tyler. He was born Jan. 23, 1935, in La Crosse, to Edward P. and Myrtle (Olson) Balzer.
