Obituary of Roger Higham

Passed away peacefully on December 5, 2025, at the age of 92. Predeceased by his wife, Olga. Devoted father of Larry and the late David. The best grandfather to Jennifer (Jason), Michael (Adam), and Christine. Cherished great-grandfather of Brandon, Charlotte, and Ethan. Loving best friend to Janet.

Roger lived at Mansions of Forestview for the past ten years, where he enjoyed card games, gatherings with friends, and the warm community around him. He worked as a Materials Manager at Corborundum in New York for 33 years.

He will be remembered for the things that brought him joy: playing Rumolli with friends, checkers and cards with his grandchildren, Sunday morning coffees at Commisso’s, long scenic drives, and every moment spent with his family and friends. Roger’s sharp memory, humour, and kind spirit made him unforgettable to all who knew him.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the doctors, nurses and PSWs at Greater Niagara General Hospital, especially those in the ER and the medical unit, for their compassionate and attentive care during his final days.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Niagara Health Foundation.

Roger will be deeply missed by family, friends, and all who knew him.

A celebration of Roger's life will be held on Saturday, January 3, 2026 from 2-4 p.m. at Essentials Cremation and Burial Services, 102A-4300 Drummond Road, Niagara Falls.
