Roger Griffen Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 2, 2025.
Roger Dale Griffen, 65, of Monroe, OH, passed away on August 11, 2025. Born on November 27, 1959, in Middletown, Ohio, he was the son of Clifford and Elizabeth (Carpenter) Griffen. Roger was preceded in death by his father, Clifford Ray Griffen, in December 1969, and his mother, Elizabeth Christine Griffen, in June 2017.

Roger was a dedicated outdoorsman who found joy in every season spent in nature. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. He enjoyed camping trips that often turned into unforgettable adventures. Roger's true passion lay in coaching his daughters' sports teams; he loved sharing countless seasons with young athletes, fostering their skills, and encouraging their growth.

In addition, Roger was known for his flourishing summer gardens and his innate culinary talents, often gathering friends and family around delicious home-cooked meals.

Roger is survived by two daughters, Natalie (Craig) Cashen, and Hannah (Brandon) Hiatt; two grandchildren; siblings, Clifford (Michelle), Randy (Debbie), and Cheri Millar; and many nieces and nephews.

To honor Roger, a memorial tree has been planted at Clearcreek Park in Springboro, OH, where many cherished memories were made. His spirit will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew him.
