Jon Anthony Rodgers

Jon Anthony Rodgers, age 55, of Placerville, CA, passed away on May 13, 2023, at Rock Creek Care Center in Auburn, CA, with his family by his side. Jon was born on April 30, 1968, in Turlock, CA to parents Bill and Clara Rodgers, the second of five children. In 1970, the family moved to Placerville, CA.

Jon was involved in the Hangtown Country Cousins 4-H Club when he was a young boy, and worked at Beno’s Department Store and Zollars Chevron on Broadway in his high school years. He was a 1986 graduate of El Dorado High School, and began a career in construction with Dwight Stoddard Construction. He joined the United States Marine Corps Forces Reserve in 1987, and was later activated and served in Operation Desert Shield/Storm in Kuwait and Iraq with the 2nd Marine Division from December 1990 to June 1991. Upon returning from the war, he married his wartime penpal, Cathy McIntire. He also began Rodgers Construction, Inc. and had a successful business. In 1992, he welcomed his beautiful daughter Caitlyn to his world. He had the most pride in her growing family, with her husband Cory and his beloved grandchildren, Wyatt and Wynter. They always brought him so much joy. He also enjoyed playing cards with Caitlyn’s grandma, Doris. Jon had many hobbies including rides on his Harley Davidson motorcycle, boating, 4-wheeling in his old Willys Jeep, and working the holiday seasons at his Aunt Ernie and Uncle Ken’s Christmas tree farm in Georgetown, CA.

Jon will always be remembered for his generosity, loyalty, and love towards his family and friends, his sense of humor, and that hint of fun mischief that always kept us on our toes. We all miss him dearly.

Jon is survived by his daughter Caitlyn, her husband Cory and grandchildren Wyatt and Wynter, parents Bill and Clara, brother Bill (and Katie, Carson, Makena), sister Kristi (and Jakob, Kianna), sister Rachelle (and Tom, Kate, Austin, Trevor), and sister Sara (and Scott, Addison, Alexis) along with aunts, uncles, and cousins.
