Roger William Hinds, 61 was born on January 12,1958 in Sioux City, IA and lost his battle with cancer on July 23, 2019.  He was the son of Paul and Arlene Hinds of Bronson, IA.

Roger grew up in Bronson and as a young boy he was always tinkering around with old lawnmower and bicycles.  If you couldn’t find him, he was most likely down at the creek fishing or who knew what.

He attended Lawton-Bronson School until the family moved to Worthington, MN in May 1972.  Roger graduated from Worthington Senior High School in 1976.  While living in Worthington he met his lady, Karen Stankey.  They were married in 1979.  Three sons, Travis, Troy, and Chad were born to this union.  They lived in Bronson until the couple later divorced.  He moved to Shreveport, LA in the late 1980’s and returned to Bronson in 2016.

Roger worked mostly in construction and carpentry until he became disabled by a brain tumor while living in Shreveport.  He continued to odd jobs for his many friends.  Woodworking seemed to be what he enjoyed the most.

Left behind to cherish his memory include his 3 sons, 7 grandchildren, sisters Paula (Everett) Gunn of South Sioux City, NE, Michelle Leisey of Salix, IA, Pam (Tom) Dirks, Hornick, IA, and a brother Craig (Lori) Hinds of Bronson, IA. Several nieces and nephews and is dog, Sadie Lynn.

His parents, Paul and Arlene Hinds, grandparents, Willie and Alice Hinds and Fay and Effie Lower, and 6 cousins preceded him in death.

Rest in peace dear brother, uncle, dad, grandpa and friend.  We love you.
