Roger Thomas Ginn, 67, of Greenville, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, May 15, 2022.

Born in Royston, GA, he was the son of the late Thomas and Mary Tennant Ginn.

Roger grew up in Georgia and was a proud graduate of Hart County High School. He worked in office administration for a transportation company until his early retirement due to health problems. Roger was an active member of Church of the Redeemer in Greenville. In his free time, he greatly enjoyed watching NASCAR – a love rivaled by his love for the Georgia Bulldog’s football team.

He is survived by his two sons, Ryan and Kevin Ginn; and sister and brother-in-law, Cathy Ginn and Rev. Dan Helvey. Roger also leaves his loving companion, Janet Young Ginn; her two sons, Chris Campbell and Jerry Young, and their families.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Rebecca Orr-Ginn.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Although I didn’t know Roger, I can tell by watching the tribute video that he loved his family very much, especially his two boys. I also bet he could be an ornery and fun guy by the looks of that grin in many of the photos. Here’s to when we get to see him again and comfort for the time here without him. Love to you all.
