They are survived by their children, Mark (Shawn) Tidrick, Michael (Melody) Tidrick, and Lori (Tom) Smitley; grandchildren, Michael (Kasey) Tidrick, Christopher Smitley, Jessica Tidrick, and Steven Byers; and great-grandchildren, Easton, Auston, Kaston, and Madisyn Tidrick, and Kiana, Gabriella, and Kian Byers. Roger’s surviving family is completed by his sister, Jan, and a number of nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents and wife, he was preceded in death by his brother, Dave Shaw; stepfather who had raised him, Charlie Shaw; and grandson, Matthew Torgler.
