Uncle Roger, I remember you being helpful when I needed your help with my car. You didn't turned me away. I remember you being at family gatherings and the smiles you shared!! Uncle you will be missed at the Whatley Family Reunion.
Rodger will always be a part of life. His knowledge of an engine and ability to make it work was beautiful. The stories of your mother about the varsity and your fathers about racing will always be a part of our lives. Be assured the Lord walks with you as go through this time.

To The Family of Mr. Roger Whatley. Roger was a great friend to know. His abilities were subpurb! I've known Roger since 1964. I have always looked up to him as "Big Brother". He used to fix my bicycle flat tires and when I got my first car, he taught me how to work on it. Even though it was a '1969 Plymouth Fast-Back Barracuda with a 340 engine, small block, 4 speed! He put a Dana 60 rear-end in it with a set of 538 gears. Roger was so impressed over the car in how fast it would run with a small block, he said it was the fastest he'd seen. Over Road Runner's and Chargers. Roger loved driving that Barracuda. He called me "The Old Dodge Man". Roger was a "Chevrolet Man". Thank You Roger for being a great friend.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
