Roger Paul Bird Sr.'s Obituary
Mr. Roger Paul Bird Sr., age 76, passed away at his home on Friday, December 29, 2023. He was born in Muskegon on August 29, 1947 to Charles and Ruby (Ellis) Bird. Roger was a carpenter prior to his retirement. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, playing the lottery, writing letters, and loved Ford Rangers. Roger had strong convictions to his opinion and wasn’t afraid to share that, but underneath his tough exterior, he found the most joy when he was able to spend time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is survived by one daughter, Mandi (Ty) Chasey; grandchildren, Ariel Bird-Jackson, Andrew Davies, Alec Bird, Aden Bird, Evan Bird, and Liam Chasey; great-grandchildren, Kymbria “Munchkin” Parker and River Bird; cousin, Calvin Larson; and good friend and neighbor, Keith Stever. He was preceded in death by his former wife, Terrie “Meme” Bird and son, Roger Bird Jr. A CELEBRATION OF HIS LIFE will be held from 1-4 PM Sunday, January 21, 2024 at Life Align (2508 Glade Street, Muskegon Heights, MI 49444). Arrangements by The Lee Chapel of Sytsema Funeral & Cremation Services, 6291 Harvey St., Norton Shores, MI 49444. You may sign his online guestbook at www.sytsemafh.com
