Obituary of Roger Henry Ashworth

Roger Henry Ashworth, 44, of Bainbridge, NY met his Savior face to face on March 11th while surrounded by his family. He was a lifelong member of the body of believers at First Baptist Church of Afton, NY, where he met and married his wife of 23 years, Colleen. Roger was a man of few words, but a deep faith, which sustained him through almost two years of cancer treatments. Roger is survived by his wife, Colleen, their four daughters, Molly, Madelynn, Meghan and Marissa. His father, Roger Howard Ashworth, step-mom Dawn Ashworth.

Many great nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. His greatest joys in life were spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, hunting, golfing, traveling, going to baseball games and helping out at church. He was known by his family and friends as "Mr. Fix-it" and "tech support". Roger was dedicated to doing life well and enjoyed working first at Universal Instruments, then CMP and finally Raymond Corporation. Roger was a quiet and gentle man, who touched so many lives at work and in his everyday life. He knew how to love people like Jesus did. He will be missed, but we know that we will see him again when we get to heaven. The family would like to thank the members of the oncology team at Bassett Cancer Institute especially Dr. Bravin, and nurses: Crystal, Kristina and Teri.
