Rodger Dean Quiggle, born on May 24, 1958, in South Bend, Indiana, passed away peacefully on April 28, 2026, in Mishawaka, Indiana. He lived a life marked by dedication, quiet strength, and an enduring passion for the things he loved.

Rodger was a proud Army veteran who served his country as a mechanic for three years. His technical skill and hands-on approach defined much of his life, revealing a man who was a true jack of all trades. Those who knew Rodger understood his good sense of humor, a quality that brightened many moments, even as he often kept to himself. Sometimes stubborn, he was the embodiment of quiet determination.

An avid enthusiast of motorcycles—especially Harley Davidsons—Rodger found joy and freedom on two wheels. He was also an avid NASCAR fan with a particular fondness for the legendary Dick Trickle. His interests in tinkering and problem-solving reflected an inquisitive mind always working behind the scenes.

Rodger is survived by his two sons, Michael (Chelsi) Quiggle and Travis (Trinity Bucker) Quiggle, who meant the world to him. He cherished his four grandchildren: Kaleb Quiggle, Carly Quiggle, Catherine Quiggle, and Camren Boyce. Rodger’s connection to family extended gracefully through his former spouse and friend, Cynthia Quiggle. He was also survived by his siblings: Paul (Dorothy) Quiggle, Pam (Kenny) Horton, Jamie (Ron) Ragland, Suzanne (Bob) Whittecar, and Lorry (Steve) Etchison.

He was preceded in death by his father, Wilfred Quiggle, his mother, Beverly Colburn, his stepfather, John Colburn, and his brother, Mike Quiggle. Their memories remain deeply woven into the fabric of his life and legacy.

Rodger's departure leaves a quiet void, yet his spirit endures in the laughter he shared, the family bonds he nurtured, and the lasting impressions of a man who quietly and steadfastly lived life on his own terms. His memory will continue to be honored by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
