George 'Roger' Dundas, 73

After having a stroke in Nov. 2024, Roger passed away in his home with his loving wife, Dottie Ferrell and faithful dog, Trooper on Nov. 5, 2025.   

Roger, 73, was born in Bozeman to George Willis Dundas and Ethel Margo Welch. He dedicated his life to being the best son, the best father, the best husband, and the best friend he could be. His towering stature often intimidated strangers, but those who knew Roger were blessed with a friend who would give them the shirt off his back. Roger was a county sheriff in Townsend before becoming a highway patrol officer in Helena and then Bigfork. He met his wife, Dottie Ferrell, in Helena and they shared a 32-year marriage. 

A cowboy through-and-through, Roger spent most of his life on ranches and farms throughout Montana. After retirement, Roger and Dottie moved to Port Angeles, Washington, but he continued to travel back to Montana twice yearly to attend his ranch.

He loved teaching his kids and grandkids how to fish, build benches and birdhouses, how to grow a garden, and how to love with their whole heart. Mostly, however, Roger taught them how to live life to its fullest and never fully grow up. There are always adventures to be had, and he never shied away from an opportunity.

Roger is survived by his wife, Dottie Ferrell, his four siblings, Patricia Toney, Terry Spatzerath, Brad Dundas and Robert Dundas, and his four children, Jayme Johnston, George Daniel Dundas, Katrina Ferrell and Greta Turney. 

In lieu of flowers, the family asks those interested in honoring Roger to consider donating to a local animal shelter or to hospice.
