Roger Joseph Tomlinson

Roger Joseph Tomlinson, 52 years old, a resident of Taos, NM moved on to greener pastures, Sunday, June 16, 2024, at St Vincent Hospital in Santa Fe, NM after a short illness.  

Suffices to say in cowboy terms… Roger made wide circles in his life and within those circles gained a whole bunch of dear friends who adored him.  Roger was an accomplished cowboy having worked on many ranches throughout the southwest, as well as a great horseman who had a keen eye for a “good one”.   Rogers greatest accomplishment and the one he was the proudest of was his farrier skills... Roger shod horses throughout the country and is well respected by his peers and many satisfied customers, he will be sorely missed. 

Roger was preceded in death by his father, James Roger “Tommy” Tomlinson from El Paso, Texas and his mother, Ardith Lee Palmer Tomlinson from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Roger left behind 3 brothers, Terry Dean Tomlinson, Christopher “Critter” John Tomlinson, Thomas Kenneth “Kenny” Tomlinson and a niece, Macy Jolee Tomlinson. 

Services will be upcoming.
