Larry, faithful servant of the Lord, was the Music minister at First Baptist Church of Jacinto City from 1987-2011.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rogers family during this difficult time. May God embrace you with comfort and strength.
I had the privilege of purchasing furniture from Larry at Layzboy for many, many years. I always enjoyed our conversations. He was the sweetest, kindest man. He truly loved the Lord, loved the church and loved singing in the choir. He would always stop whatever he was doing and make time to just sit in one of the chairs or on a sofa and visit. He truly cared about people and he had a way of making you feel like you were very important to him. He was a great listener and I always looked forward to getting to visit with him. He will be greatly missed by me and I know by many others. He is with his Savior and Lord who he served and loved so much.
We are so sorry to hear of Mr. Rogers passing. We had two great experiences purchasing furniture from him at LaZBoy in Webster. He spoke of his family as we visited with him. He was a fine gentleman. May the Lord grant you comfort and peace during this difficult time.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am so thankful you have
such good memories. Larry was such an inspiration to
so many people. I worked for him for 15 years. He taught
me so much about selling furniture. He was the best!
My love to Diane and all his children.❤
We are heartbroken to hear about Larry. He was a terrific friend of our family during our young married years. We have wonderful memories of a dear friend that we met at church who hosted us for regular canasta parties while our young children played together. We remember how he loved his family and never met a stranger. We pray for peace and comfort for Kara, Kalyn, Sarah, and James. You were so fortunate to have such a loving father.
Larry was all of the wonderful things said about him. He was a loving and caring person. He will be missed. Heartfelt sympathy to his family, a heartbreaking loss. ❤️
Prayers & blessings to the family during your healing process.
Larry was greater than a friend to so many of his peers, employees and associate by modeling the contentment and humility of Christ the Messiah.
My life is more enriched by having the ability to call him my friend.
I’ll see you on the other side.
Shalom
I’m so sorry to hear the sad news. My thoughts & prayers are with you all!
Larry was a friend and fellow classmate of Galena Park High School, Class of 1964.
We all will miss him, his great voice and his sunny smile. I believe Larry attended quite a few class reunions. I know his family will really miss him! Our sympathy and prayers go out to his family and especially those grandchildren and great grandchildren who will miss his love and encouragement to them.
Larry will be their guardian angel now.
Sorry to hear of Larry’s passing. He was a warm and funny man who enjoyed life and people. He always made you feel special and sharing stories of his family and the Lord. I enjoyed our time singing praises to our Lord in the Sagemont Choir. He will be missed. May God grant you peace and comfort.
May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him during this time of loss. “For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (That is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a House in Heaven, an eternal body made for us by God Himself and not by human hands. 2nd Corinthians 5:1
I’m still shocked that Larry is gone! I really enjoyed the years we worked together at FBCJC. He was a sweetheart!! i know he is in the Heavenly choir!
May God bless your beautiful family during this difficult time. May he Rest In Peace and May you find comfort in knowing he is with the Lord.
I have known Larry for about 30 years. About 15 was working with him at La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries which I retired from in 2003. Since then we have always stayed in touch i would go by and visit with him occasionally until last November when my health deteriated to the point that made it impossible.He was a fine man and a good friend. My condolences to his wife and the rest of his family. He will be greatly missed.
Larry instantly made you feel like an old friend with his quick wit and fun loving spirit. We will miss him dearly.
Duane and I are still in disbelief that Larry is not with us. There will never be another Larry Rogers. I met him in 1998 when I went to work for Lazboy. I had the opportunity to work with him in his store from 2008 to 2013 and was so happy when He and Diane married. We will.miss him and know that when we see his children we will feel as if we r with Larry again.
I was so blessed to have known Larry for 34 years and he truly loved and lived for the Lord. It was wonderful knowing and working with him for many years at FBCJC and the furniture store in Pearland. My prayers go out to his beloved Diane, the love of his life, and his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren as well as his many friends. He will be missed but never forgotten. RIP sweet Larry.
Sincerest Condolences!!! I have known Larry since 2nd grade thru GPHS.

We are so sad to hear that COVID has taken Larry’s life. He loved his family and Jesus so very much.

Larry didn’t believe in Covid, but it ended up taking him out. Shoulda got the vaccine, Larry. He is happy with Jesus sitting on Lazy Boy recliners in the sky sipping on Diet Dr Pepper and watching Fox News.
