Roger Henry Herrin

Mr. Roger Henry Herrin, 76, of Hoboken, passed away late Saturday evening, December 14, 2024, at Kindred Hospital of North Florida in Green Cove Springs.

Born in Blackshear, GA on January 18, 1948, he lived in Pierce and Brantley Counties for most of his life.  A graduate of Patterson High School, he served in the United States Army during Vietnam.  Following his military service, he went to work as a boilermaker, retiring as a supervisor from US Boiler & Tube.
