Roger Alexander Sitlington
1959 - 2026

Suddenly at his home in Warwick, Ontario, Roger Sitlington passed away at the age of 67. He is Reunited with his wife Susan (Webb) , who passed in 2022.

Dear father of Sean (Lisa), and Laura (Trevor), and beloved Grandpa to Baileigh, Sawyer, Aubrey, Bryson, Olivia and Beau.

Uncle to Melissa and Christopher.

Roger is survived by his siblings Robert (Rosanne) Sitlington, Brenda (Sam) Breyer, Brian (Denise) Sitlington, and brother-in-law Bill (Peggy) Webb.

Family was everything to Roger, and he loved spending time with his Grandkids. Whether it was driving them to sports or appointments, or Sunday hangouts at the farm, he was happiest when he had the kids nearby to tease.

He was a master of his Trade, holding the highest of tickets and a reputation that resulted in him being sought out for special jobs long after his retirement.

He loved to bake and will forever be famous for his butter tarts.

Roger was also big on community. He raised his family in the same community, and the same house, that he grew up in.

He proudly served 42 years of service with the Warwick Fire Department.

He could always be found at the Pancake breakfasts, or having his daily morning coffee with his friends and neighbours.

Roger was always quick to help out someone needing a favour - accepting only a ThankYou as his payment.

Tough as they come, Roger was truly a great man who will be missed by many.

Friends are welcome to join the Sitlington family in honouring and celebrating Roger's life.

If desired, memorial contributions to the Warwick Fire Department 5280 Nauvoo Rd Box 10 Watford, ON N0M 2S0 OR Ronald McDonald House are appreciated.
