McPherson His last days were labored, but with prayer and family blessings Roger Mekon-Saeh McPherson, Jr. began his journey to eternal peace at 12:55 p.m. on July 15, 2009. Lil'Rog battled acute leukemia for a year and a half. In the last weeks he developed bacterial meningitis that was too much for his already weakened system. Roger was a graduate of the Menominee High School and had attended the College of Menominee Nation. He enjoyed fishing, shanging, and chilling with his friends. Lil'Rog is survived by: his parents, Roger and Debra (Peters) McPherson; his brothers and sisters, Kenew'saeh, Ma-Sha-Quit, Darrin, Autumn; half-brother, Arnold; half-sister, Destiny; a special friend, Misty Curry; and several aunts and uncles.
