Mr. Rogers passed away on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama. He was born on January 10, 1944, in Alexander City, Alabama to Joseph Clifford Rogers, Sr. and Mary Turner Rogers. He grew up in Goodwater, Alabama where he met his life-long friends and his bride. He was an active member of First Baptist Church of Alexander City. A 1968 graduate of Auburn University, he was an avid fan of all Auburn sports and could often be found at a game on campus which he considered his second home. His successful career spanned several decades working for Alabama Power Company, Sterling Lumber Company, and the State of Alabama Board of General Contractors Licensing. He was grateful for the innumerable opportunities his career afforded him and looked forward to going to work every day. When he wasn’t working, he loved spending time with his family and friends on Lake Martin.
He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Janice T. Rogers; daughter, Robyn Rogers Banks (Wesley); son, Joseph C. Rogers, III; son, Charles Thomas Rogers (Stacy); grandchildren, Turner Scott McNair, Patrick Gates McNair, Hannah Banks McElroy (Scott), Madelyn Claire Banks, and Katie Wright Rogers; great granddaughter, Aubrey Elaine McElroy; sister Gwen Rogers Westbrook (Neal); sister Anne Rogers Agnew (Parker).
He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, James Scott Rogers.
