Roger was originally from West Portsmouth “West Side”, Ohio. He was born on June 12, 1963 to William Estelle Adams and Easter Mae Huff at St. Mary’s Hospital.

Roger was a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and son-in-law. He got along with everyone and was always willing to help when he could, always making everyone laugh and smile. He loved to joke around and will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him. Roger held on to his faith- he knew that faith and family are the two most important things in life.

Roger is preceded in death by his parents, William and Easter Adams; brothers, Virgil, Bobby, and Earl of West Portsmouth, OH and William Adams of Rosemount, OH; sisters, Sylvia Black of Waverly, OH, Sharon Hatfield, Tammy Adams, Patricia Monk all of Portsmouth, OH; son, Edward Mansolo; mother-in-law, Gloria Silvia Mansolo; and his beloved sister-in-law, Lydia Irene Mansolo.

Those left behind to cherish his memory are his wife of over thirty-seven years, Theresa Mansolo Adams who he loved with all of his heart; his sons, Erich and Joseph Adams; daughters, Elena Adams, Vanessa Adams and husband, Paul Ruiz; siblings, Shirley Colett of Rosemount, OH, Pamela Adams of Houston, TX, David Adams of Wheelersburg, OH, Johnny Adams of Conroe, TX, Gary and Charlie of West Portsmouth, OH; Anita Mansolo, Andrew, Johnny Mansolo (who all loved Roger dearly and considered him their favorite brother-in-law), and many other family members and friends. Roger loved all of his family dearly, especially all twelve of his grandchildren.

Pallbearers will be Andre Abbit, Jeremiah Andrade, Paul Ruiz, Joshua Andrade, Ben Andrade, and Rudy Barragan.
