Roger Glen Granner, 69, of Hubbard, Iowa, passed away on Dec. 10, 2021, at MercyOne Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa surrounded by his family after a short battle with Leukemia.

Roger was born on March 29, 1952, to Stanley and Reva (Carr) Granner, in Eldora, Iowa. He was baptized and confirmed at Salem United Methodist Church in Hubbard, where he was a lifetime member.

Roger was united in marriage on Jan. 19, 1974, to Sheila Lange at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Eldora, Iowa. To this union two daughters were born.

Roger was employed by numerous businesses over the years; Larson’s Inc., Hubbard Implement, Iowa Falls Implement & Marine, Titan Machinery and Alden Diesel & Tractor Repair.
