Roger Lee Kaiser

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Roger Lee Kaiser, affectionately known as "Rog" or "Kaz," who left this world on November 27, 2025, at the Valley Hospice Care Center North, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Born on August 7, 1972, in Parkersburg, West Virginia, Roger lived a life filled with laughter, friendship, and cherished memories.

Roger was well-known for his vibrant personality and great sense of humor, earning him a reputation as the life of the party. His passion for cooking led him to a fulfilling career, where he worked as a cook at establishments such as the Ville and Quaker Steak. More recently, he took on the role of carpenter and window installer, showcasing his versatility and hands-on skills.

Throughout his life, Roger was a devoted father, and he cherished the special moments spent with his son, Brandon Kaiser of Steubenville. Among their fond memories, building a greenhouse together and teaching Brandon how to fish stand out as particularly poignant times, reflecting Roger's deep love and commitment to his family.

Roger’s interests were as colorful as the blue he so favored. He had a zest for life that was evident in his hobbies which included golfing, camping, and riding dirt bikes. His love for rock music from the ‘80s, especially concerts featuring ACDC, exemplified his spirited nature. Friends and family knew they could always count on him for a good time and an infectious laugh.

He is survived by his beloved son, Brandon Kaiser, and his sister Lisa (Rich) Allender of Mingo Jct., OH. Roger also left behind two adored dogs, Kuco and Nala, nieces and nephew  Shayla and Bryce Garman, and Kiara Johnson, who brought him much joy.

Roger's legacy is made all the more poignant as he is preceded in death by his parents, William and Vickie (Wagner) Kaiser, and his sister Christina Johnson.

Roger Lee Kaiser will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His spirit and the memories he created will forever remain in the hearts of his loved ones. Schuetz Funeral Home is assisting the family.
