About	Rodger Turney Knoche, loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend has peacefully left this world to join Our Father in Heaven on June 21, 2021 after a courageous battle with cancer. Rodge was born to Joan and Charles "Chuck" Knoche on November 27, 1949. He, with his two brothers, grew up in Scott, Twp, Pennsylvania. At Indiana University of Pennsylvania, he met the love of his life, Denise "Denny" and enjoyed 49 years of marriage and the raising of their three children. A generous man who was full of love, affection, humor, and joy, Rodge always made sure that those around him felt his presence. "G-Pop" found particular enjoyment whenever being greeted by his beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A kiss and hug would be freely given and expected. A cuddle was always welcome. A joke or pun would flow freely. A natural salesman and entertainer, Rodge found fulfillment in retirement by blessing others with his recordings and singing and performing. In his later years, he found great joy sitting on his porch, chatting up the neighborhood and chasing his beloved "Daisy" as she ran off, only to return and bathe her "daddy" in kisses. Rodger was preceded in death by his granddaughter, Jayden Faith and his parents Joan and Chuck. He is survived by his wife Denise; his children, Jeff and Marie, Erin and Brent Patterson, Dana and Zachary Mathews; his grand/greatgrandchildren, Kayla, Courtney, Victoria, Kensley, McKinney, Keira, Garrett, Rylie, Breylynn, Grayson, and Finley. He is also survived by two brothers and their families.
