A man with a heart of gold, Roger was a beloved son, father, grandfather, brother and uncle. Roger spent most of his life in Warren, Arkansas, where he graduated from Warren High School. He later moved to Paragould, Arkansas, before settling in Hattieville for the last three years.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Floyd and Carolyn Stuard; his brother, Ricky Stuard; his sister, Brenda Stuard; maternal grandfather, Buster Richardson; paternal grandparents, Jesse and Glynace Stuard; grandson, Tyson Stuard; niece Tiara Wallace; and great niece, Aubriana Coke.
Roger leaves behind a loving family, including his two sons, Jesse Stuard of Cotton Valley, LA and Jeremy Stuard of Magnolia, AR; five grandchildren; and a niece, Vicki Deshazer.
He was a devoted member of Solid Rock apostolic Church in Morrilton, Arkansas, where he found great joy in worshiping the Lord and loved his church family as his own. A true character, Roger was known for his silly and fun-loving spirit. He loved everyone he met and it was said that to know Roger was to love him. His passions included fishing, going to church and spending time with those he held dear.
Graveside services will be 2:30 p.m. Sunday, August 31, 2025, at Outlaw Cemetery in Bradley County, AR. There will be a visitation from 1:00-2:30 p.m. preceding the graveside service at the cemetery. You can sign Roger's guestbook registry here on his page.

Hattieville, AR Wednesday, August 27, 2025 I never imagined a message to our church page would lead to one of the best friends and supporters a man could have. Truely I was blessed to be this man's friend and pastor for nearly three years, in the twilight of his life. He was a worshipper, a prayer warrior, an encourager, and a friend to all. I will miss our drives, our talks where he would minister to me and encourage me, when I thought I was ministering to him. It's not goodbye- it's see you later brother! I was honored and blessed to have you in my life! - PastorGlenna Norman And Kenny Hartman
