Roger Edward Mastel was born January 14, 1955 to Edward Peter and Joann (Merkel) Mastel at the Hand County Hospital in Miller, SD.

Roger started working at an early age delivering the Plainsman for many years. At age 14, he went to work at Community Oil where he worked for Lester and Carolyn Hargens for 40 years. He and his sister worked then together for 25 years. At the time of death, he worked for Twin Valley Tires.

Roger spent his enter life living at Miller, SD at home with his mother. They were very close and every weekend they went somewhere, except if the weather was bad or he was a trap shoot. He was a faithful and caring son.

Roger could be found shooting his Alfermann gun at trap shoots all over the USA. We remember him at the Oklahoma shoot the same time it was bombed. He immediately called mom to tell her he was okay, but it was very hard to hear his voice because all of the noise of sirens.

Roger started shooting trap in 1984. He traveled to many places and was also inducted in the Hall of Fame. He made many good friends through the sport and was a State Champion several years. Roger sense of humor was legendary, and many friends have stories they will always remember as well as family.

Roger left behind his mother, Joann; sister, Peggy (Mike) Namanny; two nephews; Gary (Brenda) Nammany and Clint (Angie) Nammany; great nephews: Malacho Namanny, Zachary Namanny, and Dom Namanny; and great niece, Pipper Namanny; and all his friends.
