Gregory Roggeman, the son of Raymond and Naomi (Smith) Roggeman, was born on October 21, 1961. He was a lifelong resident of Mason City and the fourth of seven children born to his parents. Greg attended Mason City High School before life took him another direction.
Greg met Sandi Anderson while “scooping the loop” in Mason City. They married on Valentine’s Day, 1990 in Mason City and later celebrated their 25th Anniversary with a Vow Renewal ceremony at First United Methodist Church. Greg was so excited to start a family with Sandi and together they were blessed with their first son, Joshua. Twelve years later their family would be completed with the arrival of their second son, Jordon Raymond Roggeman.
He had a successful career as an ironworker with Local 67 of Des Moines where he worked on many area business projects such as Target and Fleet Farm. His final project before retirement was working on windmills.
Greg enjoyed shooting pool, cheering for the Minnesota Vikings, playing slow pitch softball, and had an evening job as a bartender for many years. He could be known as ornery but also had a strong family side to him – he was a proud father of both of his sons and life only got better with the arrival of his two grandchildren.
Greg is survived by his wife Sandi Roggeman; their son Joshua (Jamie) Roggeman; two grandchildren Zachary and Addilyn; siblings Dawn Branstad; Stephanie Hodge; Jeff Roggeman, and Renee Wasinger; as well as many nieces and nephews, extended relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his son Jordon Raymond Roggeman, his parents Raymond and Naomi Roggeman, brother Daryl Roggeman, and sister Lisa Smith.
