Roger Lynn Baldwin
ROGER LYNN BALDWIN
The Villages, Fla.
Roger Lynn Baldwin, 77, of The Villages, Fla., passed away peacefully on Dec. 22, 2021, with is loving wife by his side and under the care of The Villages Regional Hospital. He grew up on a farm near Clarence, Iowa, with his parents, Roger and Ruth; sister, Jeanine; and brother, Brett. He met Diana, his high school sweetheart and beloved wife of 58 years. After high school, he proudly served in the U.S. Air Force followed by a data processing career.
A friend to everyone, a kind, fun-loving man who enjoyed golfing with his family and friends. An avid pickleball player, as his fellow players at Fish Hawk Recreation Center would attest. Also loved playing on his electronic keyboard, RVing extensively throughout the US, cruising, traveling in Europe, downhill skiing and driving Petty NASCAR. Roger got his private pilot's license and fulfilled his life-long dream.
Roger will be deeply missed by his wife, Diana; son, Eric (Janell) Baldwin; daughter, Heather Baldwin; grandsons, Austin Snyder and Andy (Tylar) Schlichte; great-granddaughter, Addison Schlichte; sister, Jeanine (Mike) Fuller; brother, Brett Baldwin; and many nieces; nephews; and friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers or contributions, please do an act of kindness in honor of Roger. Arrangements entrusted with BALDWIN BROTHERS Funeral & Cremation Society-Spanish Springs, (352) 480-5959. Sentiments may be left online at www.baldwincremation.com.
