Obituary: Roger Federer
It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Roger Federer, a beloved father, community stalwart, and cherished friend, who departed this world peacefully on May 27, 2026, at the age of 85. Born on September 4, 1940, in the quaint town of Lovinac, Croatia, Roger's life was a testament to resilience, compassion, and dedication to those around him.
Roger was the loving father of Mistress Federer and Master Federer, who remember him not only as a devoted parent but as a man whose kindness knew no bounds and whose love was unconditionally given. His gentle spirit and unwavering dedication to his family and community will forever remain etched in the hearts of those who knew him.
His life's journey began in Lovinac, where he was instilled with the values of hard work and community service. Roger pursued education in trade schools, specializing in construction, carpentry, scaffolding, and safety, equipping himself with skills that he would later leverage in his tireless work for the Croatian community. His career was marked by an unyielding commitment to improving the lives of others, a legacy that continues to inspire those who knew him.
Outside of his professional life, Roger found solace and joy in a myriad of hobbies. Whether casting a line into the tranquil waters of his beloved fishing spots, cheering for his favorite hockey team, retreating to his cherished cabin by the lake, or restoring the gleaming beauty of a classic muscle car, Roger's passions were as varied as they were enriching. His love for historical wars and folk music revealed a deep appreciation for culture and history, facets of his personality that he delighted in sharing with others.
Roger's life was enriched by his dedication to community and family, but it was his personal qualities that truly set him apart. Known for his boundless kindness, he touched multiple lives with his generosity and gentle spirit. Roger's warmth and empathy left an indelible mark, creating a legacy of love and compassion that will endure for generations.
In his honor, donations can be made to the Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation, reflecting Roger's lifelong commitment to helping others and supporting worthwhile causes.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate staff at the Eux Clair Extendicare facility and the Good Samaritan's Wedman House. The care and kindness shown to Roger during his long battle with dementia provided comfort and dignity in his final days.
As we bid farewell to Roger, we celebrate a life well-lived, a life dedicated to family, community, and the simple joys that make life meaningful. He will be dearly missed, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him. Rest in peace, dear Roger. Your legacy of love and kindness will endure eternally.
