I will always fondly remember the kind and loving nature of Ray. He was a friend, a supporting soul and a mentor. Being his next door neighbor for over a decade he was always a gentleman and a solid man of honor. May the Almighty God bless him with angels in his eternal resting place.
My condolences and prayers to the all of the Rogers family, especially to Shelley and Blake who I have known for many, many years. I’ve known Ray for more than half my life I believe. He was a pleasure to be around and always made friends feel welcomed since most of the time we spent together were at his home. He has been on countless fishing trips with Ross, Jeff and Wayne and they always caught their limit of good eatin’ fish, esp. snapper. Ray would give you the shirt off his back if you asked him. He was a great man. Many fond memories of him. You fought a difficult battle, Ray. Now it’s time to rest in peace.
So sorry I don’t live close enough to be there to pay tribute to my good friend and I’ve loved all of our lives. We’ve had so much fun together. I think the first time we really made a friendship was an elementary school at a hayride from then on dancing graduation what a great care love and sorry to the whole family.
not a better guy or friend to be around or spend time with. I have known Ray since 6th grade, never changed, always the same, up or down. Will be missed my what friends are still alive, Rest in Peace. I still have all the wonderful memories,
