Roger Thomas McFadden Jr., age 63,
passed away peacefully at Newberg Providence Hospital on March 14, 2022, after
a seven- year battle with cancer. Tom was born in Seattle, Washington, on June
4, 1958, to Roger and Lolitta McFadden. He graduated from White River High
School in Buckley, Washington. After high school, he moved to McMinnville,
Oregon, to attend Linfield College. Tom met his wife, Rebecca, their freshman
year at Linfield, both living in the Campbell Hall dormitory.
Tom graduated from Linfield College in 1980 with dual degrees in Accounting and
Communications. That year, he began managing the CPA business he would later
purchase, which he successfully operated for nearly 40 years prior to his
retirement.
Tom and Becky were married in June, 1980, and raised two daughters, Jessica,
born 1985, and Molly, born 1989.
Tom was a passionate member of the McMinnville community, heavily involved in
Linfield Athletics, volunteering for over 30 years of service in sports. In
2014, Tom received the honor of being inducted into the Linfield Athletics Hall
of Fame for his volunteerism, an honor he proudly received and stated was one
of the happiest days of his life.
Tom was also a football referee with the Salem Football Officials Association
for 20 years and also served as their board treasurer.
Tom was also a very faithful man and built a strong community within his church
and Bible study groups throughout the years. His faith for the Lord was fierce
and inspirational.
Tom is survived by his wife of 41 years, Rebecca McFadden, daughters Jessica
Wiley and Molly McFadden, sons-in-law Michael Wiley and Dashawn Agbonze, and
granddaughter Josephine McFadden.
Funeral services will be held later during this summer. Condolences may be made
to PO Box 1272, McMinnville, OR 97128. The family would like to extend special
thanks to Sunrise Family Clinic, Oregon Oncology and Providence Hospice for
their compassionate care.
