Roger Chitwood

March 11, 1946 — February 1, 2024

Roger Chitwood, age 77, of Toledo, passed away peacefully Thursday, February 1, 2024 at home with loving family by his side. He was born on March 11, 1946 to Earl and Lillian Chitwood in Toledo, Ohio. Roger graduated from Start High School where he met the love of his life, Maryanne Hoover and they were married on March 6, 1970.

He was a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy serving during the Vietnam War. Roger retired from Local 45 in 1999 after 30 years of dedicated service. He volunteered with the Democratic Party for many years. Roger was a jack of all trades, he loved woodworking, and would help anyone at the drop of a phone call. He truly had a heart of gold. Roger's greatest passion was the love he had for his family. He was known for his grilling, looked forward to family get-togethers and loved to crack jokes. Roger's smile, spirit and caring nature will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Thomas Chitwood; granddaughter, Kayla Pratt; and sister-in-law, Lorraine Chitwood. Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of almost 54 years, Maryanne Chitwood; children, Kellie (Tim McGuire) Pratt, Kim (Jeff) Lepiarz, and Roger (Wendy Surowiak) Chitwood; grandchildren, Kody (Breanna), Kendra (Ben), Austin (Cait), Rylee, and Carlee; great-grandchildren, Payton, Paisley and one baby boy on the way; siblings, Earlene (Bud) Miller, and Bob Chitwood; fur baby, Daisie; and many nieces, nephews and dear friends.
