Roger Lloyd Lightfoot, age 53, passed away at Mercy Hospice in Johnston, Iowa, on Tuesday, July 20, 2010 after a long illness.
Roger was born June 5, 1957, in New Orleans, Louisiana, the son of Lloyd George Lightfoot and Roberta (Sighinolfi) Lightfoot. He married his wife Janet (Determann) Lightfoot April 18, 1992. The two lived several years in the New Orleans metro area before moving to Urbandale, Iowa. The couple had no children but enjoyed filling their home with their canine children and the laughter of many nieces and nephews.
Roger enjoyed hunting, fishing, music, and woodworking and was well known amongst his friends and family for his infectious laughter and the stories he would tell. He became the unelected mayor of every neighborhood he lived in and he always had time to lend a hand to those in need.
Survivors include his wife Janet of Urbandale, Iowa; father L. George Lightfoot of Slidell, Louisiana; two brothers: Larry Lightfoot and wife Caryle and Rick Lightfoot and wife Joanne both of Slidell, Louisiana; sister-in-law Nancy (Determann) Janssen and husband Ted of Auburn, Iowa; brothers-in-law Jim Determann and wife Jenni of Polk City, Iowa and Bruce Determann and wife Stacy of Glidden Iowa; six nieces; eleven nephews; and three great nephews.
Preceding Roger in death were his grandparents Richard and Dominica Sighinolfi and Sam and Mabel Lightfoot; mother Roberta Lightfoot; and a very special aunt, Fulvia (Sighinolfi ) Rose.
