David E. Rogers

David E. Rogers, age 66, passed away into the loving arms of Jesus surrounded by his loved ones on Monday, July 15th, 2024. David was born in Columbus, Ohio on September 9th, 1957. He will be remembered for his unwavering love for his family, music, and of course, his pride and joy, the zucchini garden.

One of his proudest moments was becoming a Papaw and he loved his grandbabies more than life itself. David found immense joy in the company of his dog Harrison Henry and cherished his role at Bryant Habegger where he worked for 28 years. His hard work and commitment left a lasting impact.

He was known for his caring nature and his heart of gold. He had a quick wit that could light up any room. He approached life with a sense of humor that never failed to bring smiles and laughter to those around him. Despite any challenges, David remained steadfast and positive, a true warrior through and through.

Above all, David's greatest love was reserved for his family, whom he adored beyond measure. He will be deeply missed but fondly remembered as a kind, funny, and loving soul who touched the lives of all who knew him.
