Roger C. Mathwig, age 78, passed away on Saturday, March 28, 2026. He was born on May 26, 1947; son of the late Fred and Betty Mathwig in Oshkosh, WI. He graduated from Oshkosh High School in 1965 and married his best friend Sue Bitter on October 11, 1975.

Roger was a general contractor and was known for building quality homes. He cared deeply about his workmanship and often developed friendships with those he built for.
He was courageous while losing his eye sight, fighting type I diabetes and fighting cancer. He never became bitter or angry through all this. Before losing his eyesight, he loved hunting, fishing, cutting wood, gardening and reading western history. He also loved baking and cooking for get togethers with family. He was a humble, quiet and kind man with a witty sense of humor. His faith in God was unshakeable and now is in the arms of Jesus and reunited with his parents, grandparents, friends and in-laws, Tom Monson, William Schuster, Bev Bitter and Diane and Dwight Noyes.
