Roger Newsome, age 71, of Hillsboro, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 26, 2026. He was born on September 3, 1955, in Letcher County, Kentucky, the son of the late Clayton and Ella (Rose) Newsome.
Roger worked as a truck driver for over 30 years, a career he was proud of. He had a special love for collecting die-cast cars and semis, and he especially loved his dogs, who brought him great joy and companionship.
Roger will be greatly missed by his family and friends, but his memory will remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
Roger is survived by his two children, Josh (Lauren) Newsome of Eaton, and Laura (B.J.) Saylor of Tipp City; seven grandchildren, Justin, Ryley, Abbey, Ella, Jeremiah, Annabelle, and Savannah; a sister, Brenda (Harold) Lewis and several nieces, nephews, and friends. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two siblings, Sue Walton and Bill Newsome.
Celebration of life will be held at the convenience of the family at a later date. The Turner & Son Funeral Home and Crematory is serving the family.
