Roger Willis Hallford, 82, of Canton, passed away on March 12, 2026, at Wellstar Tranquility at Cobb, surrounded by his loving family.
Born on April 13, 1943, to the late Bill and Elois Hallford, Roger was raised in Toccoa.

A U.S. Army veteran and proud graduate of Georgia Tech, he built a career in the manufacturing industry in industrial management. Above all, Roger was a loving and devoted husband, father, and grandfather who was deeply cherished by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Louise Hallford of Canton; daughters and sons-in-law, Cammie and Tony Neal of Helen, Melissa and Chris Overby of Acworth, and Lori and Evan Hill of Gainesville; eight grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; a brother; and other relatives.
