Roger Halcomb

Honorable Roger Dale Halcomb passed away Thursday, February 13, 2020 at the age of 75.

Roger was born to his late parents Clements Leon and Johnnie Hortense Halcomb.  He was preceded in death by his brother, Lionel Judson Halcomb (Kay).

He is survived by the love of his life of 50 years, Charlotte Mann Halcomb, two children, John Forrest Halcomb (Suzanne) and Sally Halcomb Mizell (James); his two treasured grandchildren, Jackson and Julianna; his sister and brother, Karen Halcomb Sanders (Fred) and Larry Leon Halcomb (Marilyn); and many nieces and nephews.

He was born in Birmingham on November 2, 1944.  Despite having contracted polio at the age of two, he went on to have a successful career and an exceptional life.  He graduated with honors from Hueytown High School in 1963, where he was also the Senior Class President.  He then graduated from The University of Alabama and obtained his law degree from Cumberland School of Law in 1974.  He dedicated his life in a career to public service, serving as an Assistant District Attorney, District Court Judge, and Circuit Court Judge until he retired in 1997.  After retiring he continued his public service as Municipal Judge for both cities of Hoover and Pleasant Grove, as well as a legal mediator to help others resolve their disputes outside of court.

Roger worked hard for his family, a tireless provider who always put them first. As a judge, he was approachable and kind while being just and fair.  He loved the law, but above all loved helping others.  To know Roger was to know strong character, honesty, integrity and to always feel welcomed.  He brought so much joy and laughter to those who knew him and heard his stories. He will be greatly missed and forever remembered.

Visitation will be held at Hunter Street Baptist Church on Monday, February 17, 2020 from 1 to 2pm, followed by a celebration of life service at 2pm.
