Rodger Lee Estepp of Blue Eye, Missouri was born on December 22, 1963, in Ozark, Arkansas to Jack and Connie (Lowery) Estepp. Rodger passed away unexpectedly Tuesday, November 28, 2023, in Oak Grove, Missouri, at the age of 59.
Rodger was known for making incredible sound effects, and always knew how to bring joy to a room and crack a joke, but he could also be a shoulder to lean on and cry with you. If you needed him to, Rodger was quite the mechanic and concrete finisher, and a master of any trade he put his mind to. He loved his family and friends fiercely, and always put God first.
On June 2, 1984, Rodger married his lovely wife, Brenda Lea Cantrell Estepp, who survives him of the home. He is also survived by his daughters, Tiffany Evans and her husband Dewey and Ashley Hepler; son, Brandon Albright; granddaughters, Lillian Hepler and Isabella Hepler; grandson, Elijah Hepler; brothers, Ronny Estepp and his wife Denise and Mikel Estepp; sisters, Tina Lewis, Jean Helm, and Brenda Todd and her husband Donnie, other family members and many friends.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Connie Estepp; brother-in-law, Steve Helm, and nephew, Billy Wayne Robinson.
Visitation with family and friends will be from 5:00 p.m. till 7:00 p.m., Monday, December 4, 2023, at the Charles M. Nelson Memorial Chapel. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
Memorial donations may be made to your local church in honor of Rodger. Arrangements under the direction of Nelson Funeral Service. Online condolences may be sent to nelsonfuneral.com.
