July 19, 1947 ~ April 18, 2018

Rodger Miles Conner, 70, of Moore, OK passed away April 18, 2018. He was born July 19, 1947 to Elmer "Gene" and Barbara Conner in Hartner, KS. Rodger heard his country's call and joined the US Army in the 101st Airborn Infantry as a paratrooper and served in the Vietnam War where he saw a lot of combat.

He spent most of his career life working in the oilfield industry taking him to many places around the middle east. Rodger retired in Moore with his wife, Raquel from the oilfield.

Rodger enjoyed watching sports and cooking. He loved gardening and making sure his yard looked good. He also enjoyed being outdoors and fishing when he was younger. He loved his fur-babies Thunder and Angel.

He loved mechanics and was a natural at fixing things. Rodger always tried to pass the knowledge of mechanics onto others. He had his hands in about every trade. Most of all he loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.
