Roger James Haut, 59, Jamestown, ND died January 9, 2023 at his home surrounded by family, after a short battle with
melanoma cancer.
Roger was born May 2, 1963 at Gackle, ND the son of Eugene and Muriel (Schauer) Haut. The family relocated to Jamestown in 1968. He attended Lincoln Elementary and Jamestown High School, graduating in 1981. He attended VCSU for two years before graduating from Mid-America College of Funeral Service - Jeffersonville, IN in 1984. Roger became a licensed funeral director in 1985 and began working with his father Eugene at Haut Funeral Home, as 4th generation.
Roger and Margo Gion were married December 30, 1989 at St. James Basilica in Jamestown. They made their home in Jamestown where Roger continued to work at the funeral home, serving families for 37 years.
Roger enjoyed spending time with his family what he considered one of his greatest accomplishments. The pride he had for his three children was unmatched. During this battle, one of his first goals was to be able to meet and hold his granddaughters. He surpassed that goal, having 4 extra months with them.
In life Roger worked hard and played hard. He enjoyed all things outdoors, from duck/goose/deer hunting to mountain biking and downhill skiing. You’d often see him out walking the dogs or cruising around in his Corvette with Margo.
Roger was a strong pillar in the community. He was a member of the Basilica of St. James, served on the Parish Council, a 4 th degree Knights of Columbus, past president of the Jamestown Football Boosters, member of the Jamestown School Board for 10 years and past president. He was very active in the scouting program, achieving Eagle Scout along with serving as a den leader in Jamestown and the Northern Lights Council as a Unit Commissioner. He was heavily involved in the Elks Association; he became of member of Lodge 995 in 1986 and was named Exalted Ruler in 1995; he was a state trustee and in 2006 had the honor of serving as President of the ND State Elks Association. He was also involved with Camp Grassic, serving a term as the chairman of management facilities.
Roger’s strong faith is what kept him and his family going through this difficult journey. Whether he lived or died, he considered it a win; as he is now with our Dear Lord in paradise.
