Roger Lamar Bass
January 15, 1945 ? September 7, 2026
Roger Lamar Bass, age 81, passed away peacefully on Monday, September 7, 2026. A highly successful and respected leader, he spent his professional career building roads and his free time building a life he truly loved.
Roger appreciated the finer things: excellent wine, food, art, and music. He was happiest strumming his guitar, playing a round of golf, watching SEC football, sharing his wisdom through writing, or charming a room. He was incredibly funny, unapologetically himself, and would insist we keep this short and sweet.
Roger leaves behind his wife, Tatiana; daughters, Jennifer and Shelly; his brother, Mark; and five grandchildren. He now joins his beloved son and best friend, Chris. Instead of long speeches, Roger would want you to pour a great glass of wine and tell a funny story.
A graveside service will be held on Monday, September 28, 2026 at 10 a.m. at Southern Heritage Cemetery in Pelham, Alabama, and will be followed by a Celebration of Life Reception indoors.
