Donald Roger Cantrell

Donald Roger Cantrell, age 75 of Jefferson, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, December 8, 2024 surrounded by his loving family. Born in Paynesville, WV on May 16, 1949 he was the son of Alexander and Reathia (York) Cantrell.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Susan Marie (Green) Cantrell; son, Cameron Cantrell; his parents; and brother, Gary Cantrell.

Friends and family will be received from 2pm – 4pm on Saturday, January 4, 2024 at the Behm Family Funeral Home, 175 S. Broadway in Geneva. A Memorial Service to celebrate Rogers life will begin at 4pm. Online obituary and condolences may be viewed at www.behmfuneral.com
