Roger Davis Best

On Sunday December 29th, Roger Davis Best passed away in Boerne, TX. Roger was born in Iowa, but moved to Santa Barbara, California where he spent most of his life. He ultimately made Boerne, Texas his home several years before his passing.

Roger was known for his strong personality and firm beliefs but was also loved by all those close to him. He was a United States Marine, serving from 1958-1962, spending a significant portion of that time on the USMC shooting team.

A gifted musician with an amazing voice, he played in several bands over the years and would often be found performing at the Moose or Elks lodges. He loved playing and singing old country tunes with a glass of Jameson close by. All close to him would agree that the best moments were the private jam sessions with his kids or close friends.
Roger often would say he was a “man of many talents but a master of non.” He enjoy playing tennis, hunting, trap and skeet, and an uncanny ability to fixing about anything. Whether he was being a handyman or enjoying a stiff drink, he left a lasting impression and will be deeply missed.

He is survived by his 4 children, Karin, Davis, Alan and Mat and will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
