Roger Strickland

Mr. Roger D. Strickland passed away on October 3rd, 2024 at HCA Fl Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville, Fl. He was born July 9th, 1948 in Hickox, Ga. to the late Leatha Strickland Johnson and W.R. Steedley, Sr. “Buddy”.

He is survived by his son, Roger “Dale” Strickland, Jr.; sister, Sue Soles (Billy) and brother, Donnie Crews (Willie); and many nieces and nephews that loved him deeply.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 48 years, Faye Snipes Strickland, son, Timothy Douglas Strickland and brother, Jackie Walker.

Mr. Strickland graduated from Fernandina Beach High School in 1966. He received a scholarship for basketball and attended Lake City Jr College. He was employed by Anheuser-Busch in Jacksonville, Fl. and retired after 30 years of employment.

Roger never met a stranger and loved talking to people. He will always be remembered for his big laugh and big heart. His love for his family never wavered.

Due to an inherited kidney disease, he cared for his wife and sons and never complained. He gave his sons the best childhood and it continued into adulthood.

Roger loved to go fishing with his best friend and son, Dale. They enjoyed many days fishing together until his health began to fail him. He will surely be missed by all that knew and loved him.

A visitation will be held at 10 am Monday, October 7th, 2024 at Coastal Camden Funeral Home in Kingsland, Ga. Funeral Services will begin at 11 am in the Woods-Wainwright Chapel of the funeral home with Pastor James Roberson presiding. Interment will follow at Colesburg Cemetery in Woodbine, Ga.
