Roger Fleury, of Poplar Grove, Illinois, passed away peacefully at his home on May 31, 2026, at the age of 83.

Roger was born on August 18, 1942, in Glidden, Wisconsin, to Rose Bay and Eugene Fleury. He proudly served his country in the United States Army and spent most of his working years as a skilled bricklayer, a profession that reflected his strong work ethic and dedication.
