Roger Block, Tuesday October 22, 2019

Roger Block, 62, Jamestown, ND passed away Tuesday, October 22, 2019 at Jamestown Regional Medical Center, Jamestown, ND.

Roger Block was born March 5, 1957 in Jamestown, ND to Norbert and Elinore (Edwardson) Block. He was a family man and his family meant everything to him. He loved his two girls and spent quality time with them. From playing and joking around, to teaching them life lessons, Roger’s goal was for them to be successful in life. He wanted to instill good morals, work ethics, and being compassionate and always willing to help others. His commitment, strength, and support for his family was unbreakable. From creating an at home ice skating rink, building a playhouse, going snowboarding and skiing, and going for bike rides, to teaching how to use power tools, changing a tire, knowing everything under a vehicle’s hood, and how to complete any home renovation; the list is endless. Roger was always working on a project and never quit until it was done. It was with these projects where he loved to teach and explain how things worked.

Roger was very kindhearted and always gave a helping hand to anyone in need. He would drop what he was doing to shovel snow, change a tire, give someone a ride, or help in any way that he could; even to a complete stranger. He took a lot of pride in caring for his home. He would often be found outside watering his beloved lawn at all times of the day.

Roger’s life will always be cherished in the lives of his wife, Kathy (Jamestown, ND), his children, Rachel (Jerimiah) Dockter, Erika (Shane) Brown, and grandson Isaac Dockter, all of Jamestown, ND; mother Elinore Block (Jamestown, ND); four brothers, Gary Block, Jerome Block, Doug (Sheila) Block, and Brian (Tracy) Block, all of Jamestown, ND; four sisters, Linda (Tom) Ray (Jamestown, ND), Marilyn (Shelby) Flaig (Bismarck, ND), Gloria (Ross) Burkhardt (Glendale, AZ), and Sue Johnson (Jamestown, ND); and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father Norbert Block and mother-in-law Barbara Petersen.
