Greater love hath no man than this,that a man lay down his life for his friend.
Roger Stone 1955 - 2008
Roger Stone started at UTMB on
July 11,1980, as a Photographer
for the Biocommunications
Department.
Roger worked in Biocommunications for 18 years, where he excelled in all aspects of photography,
specializing in photomicrography, as well as patient and technical research photography.
Roger rose to the position of Photo Lab
Director and was always concerned with satisfying his
customers’ needs.
Roger transferred to Logistics in 1998, where he served as a Process Systems Coordinator and a Distribution Manager.
Roger’s last position was Logistics Program Manager. He was in charge of managing UTMB’s receiving and delivery
operations, as well as the surplus inventory operation.
Roger also assisted UTMB with its commuting and transportation needs. He drove a vanpool himself and
coordinated all the vanpools for UTMB.
Outside of work, Roger’s passion was sailing. It was this passion that led him to be a safety officer for the
Texas A&M University offshore sailing team.
In June of this year, Roger and the Texas A&M sailing team entered the Regatta de Amigos, an offshore race from Galveston to Veracruz, Mexico.
The five survivors were cared for at UTMB. The story of Roger’s heroics came out during media interviews.
The students trapped below deck said Roger’s quick action helped guide them to safety. But Roger
was unable to save himself.
Roger Stone was many things: a friend, a husband, a father, a son, a brother, an uncle, a photographer, a
sailor, a veteran UTMB employee, a Texas A&Msafety officer---and a hero.
Roger was a participant in life, not a mere bystander. He will be missed by all who had the great fortune to
know him.
