Roger Gerard Brownlee

We are heartbroken to have to announce that our brother, Roger Gerard Brownlee passed away peacefully on April 26, 2024, at his home in Great Falls, MT.

Roger, you will be so incredibly missed by your family, your three sisters, Laura (Ken) Ravenscroft, Lillian Waniata, and Barbara Elia; brother-in-law, Mark Pierce; nephews, Bill, Ben (Kristina), Brad (Stephano), Alan, Daniel, Jimmy (Jamie), and Jonny; niece, Jaclyn (Rik) Miller; and grandnieces, Valyn and Ryleigh.

Roger was predeceased by his parents, Roy and Dorothy Brownlee; brother, Tim; nephew, Todd; sister, Pat; and brothers-in-law, Ken and Don.

He will be especially missed by countless significant friends. Many of you remember Roger from his 30 years working for Budweiser. For the last ten years, he has enjoyed traveling the state working for McLane as a retail sales rep.

Roger was born in Lompoc, CA, started school at Our Lady of Lourdes in Great Falls, and Graduated from CMR. He loved everything about Montana. He hunted, fished, and biked. Although he had a few to choose from, he still used the putter he won in the Youth City Golf Championship years ago. Possibly foremost, he was a diehard Washington “Redskins” fan.

“The world will be forever changed without your warm smile, your huge heart, and your unfiltered wit. “

A service for Roger will be held Monday, May 6, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. at Hillcrest Lawn Memorial Chapel. If you cannot make the service, we hope you can join us at the reception following. It will be in the private room at the Do Bar.

Rather than flowers, we ask that you send a memorial gift of any size to the Montana Red Cross, where Roger volunteered for many years. Please send to: Montana Red Cross C/O Diane Wright (1300 28th Street South, 3rd floor, Great Falls, MT 59405). Check memo should indicate Roger Brownlee Memorial. Thank you.
