John “Roger” Lee Abeyta, 61, went to forever be
with the Lord on February 11, 2012, at Kootenai
Medical Center in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, with
family by his side.
The family will be celebrating his life at 1
p.m. Saturday, February 25, at the Living
Springs Free Methodist Church in Bonners Ferry.
Roger was born on November 29, 1950, to Felix
and Clorinda Abeyta in Denver, Colorado. He
received his education in Denver and remained a
loyal Denver Broncos fan. He had a wonderful
childhood and many of his cousins were his best
friends. Together they enjoyed playing football,
baseball, tennis, skiing, golf and other sports.
Roger spent many years in Bonners Ferry
beginning in the early 1970s, where his main
occupation was working with concrete. He also
enjoyed helping family members with construction
projects.
He had a great love for the outdoors and open
road traveling and lived in California and
Nevada. He then moved to Hawaii for several
years in the early 1990s, loving the sun and the
surf. He later returned to Idaho to be closer to
his family.
They will all miss him very much and remember
him as a gentle giant with his funny little
chuckle and a great love for God, his family and
friends.
Roger is survived by his son, Roy Abeyta,Coeur
d’ Alene; his daughter, Stacey Gonzales of
Denver; grandchildren, Matthew, Mason, Madison,
Ruben, Loren and Kaleigh. Roger’s siblings are
Lucy (Doug) Jensen, Patricia (Mike) Youngwirth,
Linda Lopez, and Larry Abeyta, all residing in
Bonners Ferry, Judy (Alan) Dillin of Ephrata,
Washington, and David (Rhonda) Abeyta of
Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, along with many nieces and
nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Felix
and Clorinda Abeyta and sister, Reina Hedding.
