Rettig

Roger Alan Rettig, 67, of Butler, went to be with his Savior on Monday, Sept. 23, 2024.

He was born on Aug. 11, 1957, in Butler to the late Alvin G. Rettig and Bertha H. (Herold) Rettig.

Roger graduated from Butler High School, and he worked for TW Phillips/Peoples Natural Gas Company for 41 years. He was a member of the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Butler. Music was one of his greatest passions, and he sang in the church choir and the praise band. He also played for years on the church softball team, in which he received a hall of fame jacket for his outstanding devotion and dedication to the team. Roger was an avid Steelers fan and Pirates fan and attended the Pirates fantasy camp in Bradenton, Fla.

Roger’s main goal in life was to share Jesus with anyone he came in contact with, from the mailman to the doctors and nurses who cared for him through his nine-year cancer journey. He fought the battle and won. He is now with his Lord and Savior. Roger will be deeply missed by his loving family, who cherish memories of the countless moments they shared together. Always the life of the party, Roger had an unwavering presence at every family gathering, celebration and milestone event. His infectious enthusiasm and joyful spirit brought laughter to all those around him.

He is survived by his wife, Nancy (Voelker) Rettig; his children, Chelsea (Clint) Werth, Edward (Samantha) Silvis, Chantel (Shawn) Moore and Mark (Jessie) Hitchcock; and his 12 grandchildren. His brother, Robert (Carol) Rettig of Maryland; and sister, Bonnie (George) Isovitsch of North Carolina; and a number of nieces and nephews also survive.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Alvin and Bertha Rettig; his sister, Marge Meindel; two brothers-in-law; a sister-in-law; and a niece.
