Roger Stevens

January 27, 2026 by Editor Leave a Comment

Stevensville – Roger Stevens passed away January 17th, 2026 in Hamilton MT. He was born on June 25th, 1960 in Pontiac Michigan. He served four years in the US Army, mainly focusing on mechanical work. Roger met and married Sieglinde in 1988, lived briefly in California, then resided in the Bitterroot Valley for the remainder of their days enjoying all that the valley offers. 

Roger Stevens was a great man who felt closest to God in the great outdoors, where the beauty and presence of the Lord’s creation could be seen in every mountain trail, open road, and quiet campsite. An avid lover of adventure, he enjoyed hiking, the thrill of motorcycle racing, the rush of snowmobiling, and the freedom of four-wheeling. Camping was more than a pastime – it was a way to reflect, recharge, spend time with his loved ones and give thanks for the blessings of life. 

Through every season, Roger embraced life with gratitude, strength, and deep appreciation for God’s creation. That adventurous spirit was guided by a faithful heart and love that ran even deeper.

Roger was a devoted spouse, loving parent and grandparent. He leaves behind a cherished wife, Sieglinde Stevens, daughter and son-in-law, Yvonne and Luke Walters, granddaughter, Peyton Walters, and siblings Sharon, Ron, Janet, Nancy, and Ed, all who were the greatest blessings God placed in his life. Roger was preceded in death by his parents, Oliver and Shirley Stevens. Roger led with faith, kindness, love and those values will continue to live on through them.  

There will be a vigil in remembrance on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. at Whitesitt Funeral Home in Stevensville and a Mass of Christian Burial on Wednesday, February 4, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. in Hamilton, MT at St. Francis of Assisi parish followed by a reception. The burial will be after the reception at 2:30 p.m. at St. Mary’s Cemetery in Stevensville with military honors. 

While our hearts grieve, we find comfort in knowing that Roger is now at peace, resting in the presence of the Lord. Though deeply missed, he will never be forgotten, and we trust in God’s promise of eternal life and reunion. Condolences and memories may be shared with the family at www.whitesittfuneralhome.com.
