Warren Roger Blackham, of Malad Idaho, Passed away on November 5, 2025 at the age of 82. After a courage's battle with cancer. We will miss him dearly. Roger was born on February 2,1943 to Warren Willard and Mabel Stevens Blackham in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Roger grew up in Bountiful, Utah and attended Bountiful High School. While in school Roger was part of a singing trio and preformed in many school assemblies. After High School Roger served in the US Army as a Rotary Helicopter Mechanic.

Roger later met and married his first wife in which he shared his daughter with. They later divorced. Roger then married his sweetheart, best friend and the love of his life Laraine Peck. Together with her two boy's Gary and Buster from a previous marriage and his daughter Jeanette they started their blended family. Later adding another son Morgan. When Morgan was fourteen, Rod joined the family.

Roger became a Journeyman Electrician and worked for Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington, Utah for many years. Roger and Laraine later relocated their family to Southern Utah where he worked for Wilkinson's Electric. They then moved back to Northern Utah were he worked for Franklin Covey doing electrical maintenance. Over the years Roger and Laraine lived in many different places. But eventually retiring on the Summit in Malad, Idaho.

With Roger's charm and good sense of humor he had the ability to make friends easily and did so quickly everywhere he went especially on the Summit. We are pretty sure he had a nickname for everyone in which he was given one back "Rooster". He loved his days on the Summit, with front porch sitting with his sweetheart, beautiful sunrise's, beautiful sunset's and so many more blessings as he put it. Roger was a great husband, father and friend.

Happy Trails Dad until we meet again!
