Roger A. DeWulf

Roger A. DeWulf (age 76), born September 8, 1949, of Macomb Township, Michigan, passed away peacefully on April 18, 2026, after a long, valiant fight with cancer. Roger was an All-American hero, proudly serving his country in the Army from 1969 to 1972, which included active service in Vietnam. He was known for his specialty in helicopter repair. After the service, Roger continued to use his skills serving in the automotive industry, retiring from Chrysler after over 40 years. His love of cars did not stop at work, as he was known to work on vehicles in his garage as a hobby accompanied by his favorite Mountain Dew and Marlboro. Roger loved to travel. Whether it was a cruise, a road trip in the RV, or an excursion to a casino, he was always up for an adventure. One of Roger’s favorite destinations was Alaska. But something more important to Roger than his service, work, hobbies, and travel was his family. Roger was a devoted husband to Cathy (MacDonald) for over 48 years. They had three children together: Bobby, Stephanie (Phil) Ricci, and Tim. Bobby preceded Roger in death. Roger also adored his two grandchildren, Cooper and Hadley, and his beloved dog, Zoey. He was the ultimate family man and model father and grandfather - a man of quiet gentleness and humility. Besides his loving immediate family, Roger is survived by his large extended family in blood and marriage that spans both the American and Canadian border. This includes his brother Dennis (Sue), his sister Michelle (Rene) Meldrum, his brother Kenny (Colleen), his brother-in-law Bob MacDonald, his niece Marissa and many nieces and nephews. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, especially his many friends. Visitation will be from 2:00 – 8:00 p.m., Thursday, April 23, 2026 at the Wasik Funeral Home – Gendernalik Chapel, 35259 23 Mile Road, New Baltimore. Funeral Service 11:00 a.m., Friday, April 24, 2026 in the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, family and friends can contribute to Philip Ricci’s American Cancer Society – Relay for Life page at https://secure.acsevents.org/site/TR/?fr_id=111250&pg=personal&px=43116987, the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) or the First Congregational Church in New Baltimore in Roger’s name to help carry on his lasting legacy.
