Roger "Huey Taxi" Juan DeWitt, 69, of Lakeland, Florida passed away on 10/06/2015 from cancer. Roger was born in Penny Farms, Florida on 08/02/1946. He was married to Robette on May 18, 1968. Roger spent the majority of his adult life in the Citrus Industry, retiring from Florida's Natural Growers. He served two tours in Vietnam with the U.S Army as a helicopter pilot flying Huey's and ended his service as Captain in Artillery. He earned many awards and medals for his military service. Roger's biggest passion was always for fast sports cars and photography. His other passion was his love of our local baseball team, The Flying Tigers, where you would see him and his wife in their first row seats beside the dug out for all their home games. His camera would be in one hand, ice cold beer in the other and a welcoming smile on his face. Roger was preceded in death by his father, Charles, and mother, Phyllis, as well as his son Ryan. Roger is survived by his wife Robette "Robie", his daughter Raquel DeWitt Conley (Todd), granddaughters, Hope White and Faith Conley, along with nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
