Roger Carl Lindberg was born to Clifford Lindberg and Clara Lauritzen on Jan. 27, 1948, in Concordia, Kansas. He attended grade school and high school in Courtland. He graduated in 1966.

He was united in marriage to Janis Buster in 1967. To this union three children were born. Sarah, of Sacramento, California; Carla (Jeffrey), of Folsom, California; and Paul (Michelle), of Courtland. He has eight cherished grandchildren: Jaelin, Jaselle, Rocco, Eleanor, Spencer, Alivia, Bennett and Holden.

He originally went to barber school in Wichita, Kansas, shortly after marrying Janis, but changed careers to work as a trooper with the Kansas Highway Patrol from 1970 to 1998, stationed in Holton, Kansas and Mankato, as well as farming. He had many hobbies, including pheasant hunting, motorcycling, basketball, restoring antique gasoline pumps, cars, tractors, furniture, pool tables and was available to give haircuts to friends and family. Probably his favorite activity was socializing with his many friends.

Roger died June 29, 2023, at the age of 75.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Clifford and Clara Lindberg, and brother-in-law, Larry Trussell.

He is survived by his wife, Janis; his children: Sarah, Carla and Paul; grandchildren; brother, Curtis Lindberg and wife, Julie; sister, Sharon Trussell; several nieces, nephews, and a long list of friends.
