It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Roger Dale Ertzberger, 80, of Gastonia, NC, who left us peacefully on May 17, 2025. Born on November 30, 1944, Roger was a lifelong resident of Gaston County, cherished son of the late Walker and Willie Camp Ertzberger.

Roger was a devoted member of the Dallas Church of God and proudly served as a U.S. Army veteran. He is remembered not only for his service but also for his warm spirit and love for family.

Roger's legacy lives on through his grandchildren, Jessica Waters, Nathaniel Waters, and Noah Crutchfield, as well as his great-grandchildren, Elijah Jones, Kieran Martin, and Tucker Waters. He is now reunited in heaven with his dear parents, and brother, Danny Ertzberger, who preceded him.

A funeral service will take place on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at 2:30 pm at the Dallas Church of God, located at 311 S College St, Dallas, NC 28034.
