Video Tribute
Roger W. Greeley, age 56, Moorhead, MN died December 22, 2005, at his home in Moorhead, under the care of Hospice of the Red River Valley, after a difficult battle with cancer.
Roger W. Greeley was born July 2, 1949, in Omaha, NE, to Warren and Elaine Greeley. He and his brother, Mark, attended school there until in his teen years, his family moved to Walker, MN.
In 1966, Roger enlisted in the United States Army. Over a ten year period, Roger served in Korea, Germany and many stateside ports.
Roger married Debra Wenzel on December 23, 1970, in Walker. They made their home in Fargo, ND, in 1978, where they owned and operated The Nut House Group Home Daycare. After 16 years and many children later, Roger's love of warm weather and Disney World lead him to move his family to Orlando, FL, in 1994. There he worked for Osceola County as equipment and facility supervisor of the solid waste department.
After being diagnosed with cancer, Roger and Debra moved back to the area to spend his final months with family.
Roger is survived by his wife, Debra; two sons, Timothy (Yuna) and Terry; a daughter, Tamara; a brother, Mark; and his pride and joys, granddaughters, Corinthea and Coralinda.
Roger believed the Lord sent us here to help one another and he lived that belief everyday of his life. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
A memorial service will be held in Nevis, MN at a later date.
