Robert Rodgers Sr.

On Saturday, June 1, 2024, Robert Rodgers Sr. went to his heavenly home to be with the Lord. His life on earth began on January 18, 1943, the son of James and Mary Lee Rodgers.

He was a very good mechanic and loved fishing with his son James and his little grandson Sincere.

His legacy will forever live on through his four loving children, Angie Rodgers, Robert Rodgers Jr., Beth Rodgers, and James Rodgers; eleven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; three brothers, Paul Rodgers, Gerald Rodgers, and Jessie Rodgers; three sisters, Dixie Camp, Katie Barrett, and Diane McMillan; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends. 

We would like to thank a special friend of the family, Beatrice Meekins.
