Roger Dale Wyckoff, age 70 of Morgantown, WV passed away at JW Ruby Memorial Hospital on Saturday, October 8, 2022. He was born February 10, 1952 in Mannington, WV, a son of the late James Edward Wyckoff and Elsie Floyd Wyckoff. He was raised by his grandparents Clyde and Effie Wyckoff and had attended Mannington High School and received his GED in 1973.
Roger is survived by his wife left to cherish his memory, Susan Powell Wyckoff, with whom he was married to for 28 years; his daughter Yvonne (Kevin) Gump of Clarksburg; two grandchildren, Christopher Gump and Desiree (Justin) Burnside; a great-grandson due in December of 2022, Jackson; two sisters, Gwen Smith of OK and Shirley Lucas of OH; three brothers, Jim Wyckoff of OK, Jerry Wyckoff of AK, and Joe Wyckoff of St. Clairsville, OH; his father-in-law, Ronald L. Powell of Mannington; his two brothers-in-law, Ron Lee (Mary Lynn) Powell of Mannington and Jason (April) Powell of Mannington; very special nieces and nephews, Denny, Diane, Christopher, Macanea, Lille Mae, Nicholas and Clara; and Susan’s special family at the Cancer Center.
In addition to his parents and grandparents, Roger was preceded in death by his mother-in-law, Carol Sue Powell.
Roger was a loving husband, father, brother and uncle who was a man of few words but had a heart of gold! He was known as everyone’s hero, coming to rescue of so many stranded drivers that being one example of his kind and caring heart. He loved NASCAR, Chevys’, traveling, pulled pork sandwiches, and strawberry milkshakes which will never be matched and all of these things will remind us of him!
The family would like to Thank Dr. Veltri and BMT group at the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center at Ruby and the kind caring staff at the TCTU 9th Floor at Ruby.
Per Roger’s request, there will be no visitation or funeral services. A Celebration of his life will be held at a later date. Masters Funeral Home in Mannington has been placed in care of the final arrangements.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. Marion County Senior Citizens.
“Rog” had a smile that could light up the whole room, a grin that stretched from ear to ear. So full of life and love. Boy oh boy did he love his NASCAR, but nothing topped the love he had for his Sue. That unconditional love that most of us search a whole lifetime never finding…they had it. He adored her like no other and made sure she knew it. That’s what I will always remember about Roger Wyckoff, his smile and the many reasons for it… especially a girl named Sue. I was blessed to know him and to call him my chosen family. 🫶🏽
Hello, my father and mother, Russell and Nancy Hildreth, were friends of Ronnie. My cousin shared this sad news with me. I’m so sorry to hear of Roger’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family at this difficult time.
Roger was a blessing to all and a tremendous help to Ronnie and the family during Carol Sue’s struggles. Our condolences to Susan and the extended family. RIP Roger.
