  • Patriarch Rogers was an amazing spiritual man. I was blessed to have met him and to have experienced his kindness and love for all of God’s children. I know he is feeling glorious! I plan to meet hm again in the eternities.

  • Patriarch Rogers was gave my children and I our Patriarchal blessings. I am forever thankful for that. He was kind, warm and funny. I admired him tremendously. He will be greatly missed. I offer my condolences to his family. May you find comfort.

  • I was rereading my patriarchal blessing today, and thought I would look up Patriarch Rogers. I am so saddened to hear of his passing (several years after the fact, but still). He was the best of leaders, and even after I received my blessing welcomed my awkward teenage self into his home to provide much-needed counsel and encouragement. Thank you, Patriarch Rogers.
