Allen James Roggow

Allen James Roggow, age 57, of Bangor. Allen James Roggow passed away suddenly on Thursday, November 20, 2025, at his home, leaving behind a lifetime of memories, laughter, and love. Born October 5, 1968, in Watervliet, MI, the son of Johnnie and Patricia McDaniel. Allen grew up with a strong spirit, a big heart, and an even bigger love for adventure. Since moving to the Bangor area in 2007, he made it his home in every sense—filling it with family, hobbies, plenty of good times, and abundance of fun. Allen was happiest when he was surrounded by the people he loved most. More than anything, Allen loved his family fiercely. He would do anything for them, and everyone who knew him felt the strength of that loyalty. He cherished spending time with his grandchildren, spent countless hours enjoying RC car racing, camping, off-roading, UFC championships, hunting, and simply being together with family. If it involved fun, excitement, or togetherness, Allen was all in. Basically, if it included excitement, chaos, or good company, Allen was there—usually laughing, occasionally instigating, and always making memories. He is survived by his wife, Judy, his partner in life for the last 25 years; his 5 children—Vicki (Anthony Smith) Blackmore of Kalamazoo, Steven (Yolanda) Blackmore of Russellville, AR, Sarah (Johnathen) Remelts of Lawrence, Courtney (Mark) Stevens of Coloma, and Danielle Roggow of Bangor; daughter-in-law, Amanda Lock of Coloma; 20 grandchildren—Steven, Adrianna, Brooklyn, Logan, Izabella, Kaiden, Carter, Jackson, Jayden, Wyatt, Riley, Raegan, Skyler, Liam, Isaiah, Cloey, Caydence, Cooper, Sophia and Abby (Yes, he remembered all those names. Yes, we double-checked.); 2 brothers, Joseph Roggow of St. Joseph and Adam (Joy) McDaniel of Eau Clair; 2 sisters, Jodi (Donnie) Anderson of Michigan City, IN and Becky (Anthony) Lindsey of Hamilton; and more family members than you could count—each one special to him and many friends and colleagues who loved him. Allen is now reunited with his parents and his son, Spencer Roggow. Family and friends are invited to gather, laugh, cry, and swap stories on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, from 6–8 PM at the Bangor Chapel, D.L. Miller Funeral Home. Funeral services for Allen will take place Wednesday, November 26, 2025, at 11:00 AM, followed by a luncheon at Lawrence Township Hall (411 N. Paw Paw St, Lawrence, MI).
