Roger Siebe Meyer

     Roger Siebe Meyer, 73, of Everly, Iowa, passed away on June 25, 2024 surrounded by family.

     Roger was born on September 11, 1950, in Spencer, IA, to parents Siebe and Grace (Kuper) Meyer. He grew up on a farm near Everly, IA. He attended Okoboji School for two years and then attended and graduated from Everly High School in 1969.

    Roger married Susan Ingwersen on May 23, 1981, in Lake Park, IA. Three children were born to this union: Shane Meyer, Rhonda Quinn, and Randy Meyer. They raised their family in Everly, IA.

    Roger was baptized at Excelsior United Methodist Church, Milford, IA. He later became a member of the United Methodist Church, Everly, IA. He was very involved in various committees while attending church. 

   Upon graduation, Roger worked as a farmhand for countless area farmers. He was then employed at Harms Implement as a truck driver until their closure in the 1990s. Following that, he was employed at Spencer International as a truck driver until his retirement. 

   Roger enjoyed attending his children’s and grandchildren’s sporting events, concerts, and cattle shows. He also enjoyed attending IH shows and was an avid collector of IH toys. For many years, he spent his Saturday mornings drinking coffee and socializing at Barb’s Corner and the elevator. One could often find him clearing snow and mowing lawns for his neighbors, while often not accepting payment other than an occasional bottle of BV.
