Nathan Arel Rogers

Nathan worked at Columbus Container for nearly 15 years where he developed many wonderful friendships. He was a lover of life and is remembered by many for his radiant smile and infectious laugh. He enjoyed boating, fishing, golfing, traveling and spending time with his family and friends.

Nathan also enjoyed coaching baseball and football for his son's teams and supporting his daughter as she showed pigs and played softball. He was also an avid Cincinnati Reds and Indianapolis Colts fan.

Surviving with his loving wife, Angela McAnelly Rogers, are his two children, whom he adored, Alexis and Talan Rogers; his mother, Bonnie Rogers of Columbus; a brother, Clinton (Katie) Rogers of Columbus; sisters, Beth (Jake) Hege of Rensselaer, Indiana, and Katie (Ryan) Putnam of Columbus; nieces and nephews, Jon, Grover, and Dean Rogers, Sloan and Reagan Putnam, all of Columbus, and Owen and Hallie Hege of Rensselaer; and several beloved cousins, aunts, uncles, and in-laws. Also surviving are many close friends who Nathan cherished greatly.
