He was born in Enterprise Nov. 8, 1941, to Kenneth Burl Kooch and Roanna Locke Kooch. He attended all grades at the Enterprise School, grad- uating in 1959. He attended EOSC in La Grande for two years before transferring to University of Idaho in Mos- cow, Idaho. Roger married Julie Davis in August 1964. They both attended University of Idaho where they graduated June 1966. He served in the U.S. Army Reserves. Following college graduation, Roger took a job with Farmers Home Adminis- tration in Ontario, Ore., where he worked until the following March (1967) at which time he took the position of assis- tant manager and grain buyer for the farm Co-Op (Wallowa County Grain Growers) in Enterprise where he worked until 1978. After that he ran a ranch on Joseph Creek. Two children were born to the marriage: Kurt Roger Kooch (Nampa, Idaho) and Katrina LaRee Johnston (New Plymouth, Idaho). In 1985, Roger moved to the Hermiston area where he spent the majority of the remainder of his life. For many years, he worked at Pendleton Grain Growers while running his own herd of cattle. Roger was passionate about anything related to livestock. He was involved in 4-H and FFA in his youth and contin- ued to be a huge advocate of both programs his entire life. He thoroughly enjoyed going for drives, attending fairs, rodeos and livestock auctions. Roger was preceded in death by his grandparents and parents. He is survived by his younger brothers Reid (Linda) of Enterprise; and Ross of Prineville, Ore.; as well as two nieces and four nephews.
