LYNDEBOROUGH, NH – Roger Albert Crosby, 37, died unexpectedly on April 17, 2022, due to complications with his heart at Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, NH. Even though a failing heart took him away from this world, those who knew him will never forget his loving heart.

He was born July 18, 1984, in Nashua, New Hampshire; however, he resided much of his life in Lyndeborough, New Hampshire. Roger attended Wilton-Lyndeborough Cooperative High School.

Roger loved being outside, where he would listen to music while he worked in his gardens. Roger was an avid landscaper and took great pride in every project. There was no shortage of friendships in Roger’s life. He loved being with his friends and family. Roger was kind and would give the shirt off his back even when he had very little for himself. He was free spirited, compassionate, funny, and loved nothing more than to make people laugh. He was the life at most every gathering and always made his presence memorable. Roger loved living in Lyndeborough and appreciated the community and the peacefulness.

He cherished time spent with every member of his family, but he had a special relationship with his nephew, Dylan. Roger loved being with Dylan and teaching him the ways of the world, and Dylan admired him. Before Roger’s decline in health, he was motivated and excited for his future as he made it known he was going to marry the love of his life, Shay and they were going to have a big family. Roger’s spiritual health was strong, and he kept his faith even when he physically was weak.
