William Roger Maes
November 29, 1956 - May 27, 2024
With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of William Roger Maes on May 27, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Roger leaves behind his beloved wife, Angie, his cherished stepchildren, Danielle and Thomas, and his dear son, Tyler. He is also survived by his loving siblings, Jeff and Shari, and a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Jeannette and Bill Maes.
Roger grew up in Mansfield, where his passion for baseball & &ldquolove of the game&rdquo took root. He spent many years playing hardball in the area, creating memories and friendships that lasted a lifetime. Later, he moved to Lisle, then Honeywood, where he enjoyed hunting and fishing with best of friends. More recently, he settled up north in Markstay, living on the lake with his family, finding peace and joy in the natural beauty around him.
A celebration of Roger's life will be held at a later date, to be announced.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Mansfield Minor Baseball, the Lisle Legion, or the Matthews House Hospice Garden Committee in Alliston.
Roger's memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
