ROGER JAMES LEGG

Roger (Boomer) James Legg Jr., 56, of White Haven, passed away suddenly on December 2, 2025. Born on August 5, 1969, he was the son of Mary Lou Prye Legg and the late Roger J. Legg.

Boomer was a graduate of West Hazleton High School. In July of 1990, he began what would become a remarkable 35-year career with Wolks Landscaping. Faithful, loyal, and hardworking, Boomer was more than an employee; he was a trusted friend, a dependable teammate, and an integral part of the Wolks family. Thirty-three years ago, Boomer married the love of his life, Sherry McCluskey Legg, with whom he shared a partnership full of teasing, devotion, and unwavering love. Together, they built a beautiful family grounded in faith, humor, and love.

Boomer served his community with great pride, holding positions as both president and vice president of the Mountain Top Blitz, and coaching them for 8 years and as a dedicated and proud member of the Crestwood Wrestling Club, as well as the Crestwood Marching Band Parents Association.  In his younger years, Boomer was an active member of the Boy Scouts of America. He was a longtime member of Conyngham United Methodist Church and later attended St. Paul’s Lutheran Church with his family. 

Boomer loved taking cruises, cheering for the Dallas Cowboys, Penn State, especially wrestling and rooting for the Atlanta Braves. Above all, he cherished time with his family. He had a special gift for making people feel valued, welcomed, and loved. His quick wit and classic “dad jokes” will continue on in the hearts of those who knew him. 

Boomer is survived by his devoted wife, Sherry McCluskey Legg; his children, Roger James Legg III and his wife Carly of Danville, Michael Robert Legg and his wife Ashley of Mountain Top, Samantha Lorraine Legg of White Haven, and Grace Elisabeth Legg of White Haven and her boyfriend Jack Nixon of Mountain Top; and his adored grandchildren, Rhett, Magnolia, Eliana, and Adelyn Legg. He is also survived by his mother, Mary Lou Prye Legg; siblings Sharon (Michael) Farver and Eric (Cortni) Legg; several nieces and nephews; and his faithful furry friend, Stella.

He was preceded in death by his father, Roger J. Legg, and his devoted canine companion, Bubba.

Boomer's work ethic, humor, and love will forever be remembered by his family, friends, coworkers, and all whose lives he touched. His legacy lives on in the countless memories he created and the people he cared for so deeply.
