William Roger Sloan was a husband, son, brother, and father. Known as both "Bill" and "Roger," he was born in Mooresville, NC, on May 18, 1945, to Arthur and Rebecca Sloan.

A 21st Century Renaissance Man, he enjoyed the pursuit of knowledge, and considered learning an adventure. He earned a bachelor's degree from North Carolina Central University and completed graduate coursework in urban planning at the University of Cincinnati. He proudly served in the United States Air Force (1965-1968).

While stationed at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Virginia, he met his bride-to-be, Bertha, while interloping at a dance at Hampton University, where Bertha was a student. Their meeting was part of God's plan, and they married in 1967. Bertha and Bill raised two children, William and Willona, in Herndon (now Oak Hill), VA.

Bill was dedicated to service. He served his community through the insurance agency he founded, Landmark Insurance Services Group, where he helped individuals, families, business owners, and organizations across the Washington, DC, area. He worked tirelessly until his retirement in 2020.

He served as a Deacon at Heritage Fellowship Church. He taught Bible Study and Vacation Bible School classes, served on the Board of Directors, and as the Chair of the Board of Directors. He also served as Chair of the Deacon Board.

He will be missed by the many people who loved him, but we all know how much he loved the Lord. One of his favorite passages was: I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Psalm 91:2.
