Roger Allan Huettl was born on May 17, 1946, in Aberdeen, SD, to Raymond and Gloria (Geier) Huettl. He was raised in Westport, SD, and graduated from Barnard High School in South Dakota. After graduation, Roger started working at Hub City, where he worked until his retirement in 2007.

Roger was united in marriage to Ann Marie Grote on August 21, 1965, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Aberdeen, SD. The couple was blessed with four daughters: Kristi, Deannea, Laura, and Jeannie. They lived in Westport, SD, for a short time before moving to Aberdeen, SD.

Roger dedicated 12 years to serving on the Brown County Fair Board and continued volunteering at the fair for as long as he was able. In recognition of his commitment, he was inducted into the Brown County Fair Hall of Fame on March 29, 2025. Roger found great joy in farming, fishing, gardening, camping, and spending time outdoors. Above all, he cherished moments with his family, especially his grandchildren. A devoted fan, he never missed the chance to cheer on the Minnesota Vikings.
