Roger was raised on Thunderchild by his grandparents and his grandfather taught him how to hunt from an early age. Roger became a very skilled hunter and had many hunting stories to share with anyone who was willing to listen. He loved teaching his nephews how to hunt and took them hunting many times. He had 3 daughters that he loved dearly and was very proud of. He never had sons and it wasn't any wonder his three grandsons meant a great deal to him. Roger was a kind and friendly man who got along with everyone and loved to visit with friends and have a cup to tea. He took pride in his appearance, with his signature black jeans and white button up shirt, and was exceptionally proud that he had no white hair! He was a strong man who spoke his mind but never stayed mad. He LOVED his Vicks Vapour Rub, it was like gold to him.
He is predeceased by: his father, Peter Weekusk; his maternal grandparents, Richard and Maria Standingwater; his paternal grandparents, Antoine and Edna Weekusk; his sisters, Darlene and Clara Standingwater; his auntie, Amy Paddy; his cousins, Adam and Sheldon Standingwater; and his nephew, Dayton Standingwater.
Roger is survived by: his daughters, April Ben, Brandy Standingwater (Craig), Cayla Duquette; his adopted daughters, Jessica and Stacey Milliken, and Stephanie Genereaux; his grandsons, Brandon Singer, Desmond Sunchild, Serain Eashappie; his mother, Elizabeth Standingwater; his sisters, Bernadine Graham (John), Elaine Baptiste (Alvin), and Janeen Standingwater (Sid); his brothers, Kenny, Marcel and Derwin Standingwater; his special niece, Tierra Standingwater (OShane); his uncles, James Standingwater (Bernice), Absolom Standingwater (Laurraine); and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
