About	Roger Lee St. John, 84, went to his heavenly home on Sunday, February 20, 2022, from his home in Milford, Michigan while surrounded by his loving family. Born November 10, 1937, in Negaunee Michigan to Paul and Leona St. John, he was a loving and devoted husband to Sharon J. St. John (Pezzotti) sharing sixty-three years of marriage. Roger is preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Leona, Sylvia and Egnazio Pezzotti, and brother Paul St. John. Roger was a 1955 graduate of Negaunee High School and was the president of his graduating class for four years while attaining the honor of being selected to Boys State during his senior year. He was a 1959 graduate of Northern Michigan University where he was the starting fullback for two years. Roger was also a graduate of the University of Michigan with a master's degree in education in 1965. He was a dedicated educator for forty years, helping shape the lives of many while teaching at Brooklyn (Michigan) High School, Lowry Junior High School, Fordson High School, and Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn, Michigan. In addition to teaching, Roger was passionate about carpentry, woodworking, building, and remodeling. He was also an avid outdoorsman who loved camping, hunting, and fishing. Roger enjoyed coaching basketball at Brooklyn High School and Lowry Junior High School, as well as little league baseball. But most of all, he loved cheering on his grandchildren at numerous soccer and baseball games. Roger was a beloved member of Cherry Hill Presbyterian Church for thirty years where he served on its Session for ten. He later served on the Session at Milford Presbyterian Church where three of those four years were on the Personnel Committee.
