Roger Glenn Sutton

Roger Glenn Sutton, age 87, of Kenly, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at The Cottage at Spring Arbor in Wilson. Born on October 15, 1938, in Johnston County, he was the son of the late John W. Sutton and Mary Anderson Sutton. He was also preceded in death by his late wife, Delores Batten Sutton; his brother, Curtis Eugene Sutton; and his sister, Etholea Sutton Dixon, and her husband, Cecil Dixon.

Roger was a strong Christian man, full of faith, and a lifelong member of Carter’s Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in Selma. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Air Force for four years. An avid car enthusiast, he was a member of the Southland Car Club. Roger enjoyed spending time outdoors, especially visiting the mountains and the beach, as well as fishing. Most of all, he was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
