don and connee: ive been gone for so long I'm not up on all your family anymore. Ronnie was our counselor at camp cedar valley with the boy scouts in mt. I know he was a good man and we are very sorry for your loss.

I did not get to know Ronny as well as I would like to have, but what I did learn was that he was such a sweet man, always bragging on his grandkids, a devoted husband and father, had such a great sense of humor and an infectious laugh. I did my internship with him this past fall, he became my mentor, and I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with him, learning about emergency management. He will deeply be missed by the entire community.

You will be missed by so many! God has a special angel! Bonnie

“I’M FREE”

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.
I’m following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
Don’t lengthen it now, with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee,
GOD wanted me now, He set me FREE.

To the entire Rogers family my thoughts and prayers are with you during this great loss. I was blessed to be able to call Ronny a fellow emergency management worker for the past 10 years, but more than that a dear friend. We got to spend a lot of time together over the past few years, and wherever we were he was always bragging about his family who he loved so dear. Ronny was my dog track lunch partner. We ate there enough together that we had our own table. Ronny leaves big shoes to be filled because he was one of a kind that we loved so much! Gonna miss you friend!

My heart is broken to have lost such a wonderful friend. Critter and I have worked side by side for many years and I grew to truly love and admire him. These past two years have only increased my high regard for this kind strong man. I love you buddy and will miss you always. Until we meet again. Godspeed Critter.

Ronny, you will be missed by your hearty laughter. I enjoyed working with you back at the old Sheriff's Office and always looked forward for you to bring me something to eat while I was dispatching at night. You will be missed Big Guy with a Big Heart!

THE MEASURE OF A MAN:
Not - "how did he die" But - "how did he live" Not - "what did he gain" But - "what did he give" These are the units To measure the worth Of a man, as a man,

This is such an appropriate quote for Mr. Ronnie. The outpouring of love from so many and the wonderful memories that everyone has of him are overwhelming to see. Such a good man always involved with not only his own family but all of the county's children and activities. How blessed you were, Craig and Chad, to call him "Dad". Our thoughts and prayers are with you both and Mrs Rogers at this time and the days to come. We are here for you anytime.

Dog gone it Ronnie. Why did you do what you just did? Did you forget that you are not suppose to move to your celestial home before your elders. It is not comfortable to have children I watched growing up with my children to go beyond the veil before me. You made your move much too soon, but we know that this decision was made for you. The question - "Do I go or do I stay is not ours to make. But, Praise God your were ready to make this move. Your ticket was ready, but I am sorry that it was punched so early.

I notice that you were a member of Angels Way Baptist Church. If they had asked me for a recommendation, I would have to say, "The Ronnie Rogers I knew was a good boy, but I never thought of him as an angel. But then I remembered when the angel Gabriel said to the Virgin Mary, "For nothing is impossible with God." (Luke 1:37) Now that this mystery has been solved, let's look at what we do know.

We know that you have seen your savior face to face. We know that you will soon see your mother and daddy... Be sure and tell your daddy that I am expecting a garden filled with okra and tomatoes, and tell your mother that I will take time to look at some of the pictures of her grandchildren.

Ellen. I know that losing your wonderful husband is never easy. Bur I remember how your strong faith stabilized the
family when they lost their beloved parents. And I know that your strong faith will sustain you and your family in these difficult times. For when times get tough, and they surely will, you know that our heavenly Father is the
God of all comfort.

May His peace be with you,

Joe Sparks

Ronny will be missed by so many people. He was loved by everyone he met. I will always remember him on the softball/baseball fields. I know there are a lot of ballplayers in heaven excited Ronny will be umping the games for them. Its a loss for those left behind but a gain in the arms of God. RIP Ronny

My life was saddened Monday night when I heard of Ronny passing. He was one of the twelve seniors on the 1965-66 Marked Tree Indian football team. We were a close bunch. I have a lot of wonderful memories which includes him. Later on in life, we would cross paths again as he refereed and I coached. When my son was playing American Legion baseball I got the chance to introduce him to Ronny. I was proud to do that. Ronny was very dedicated in whatever he did. We learned that together. He will be greatly missed.

I first met Ronny as a new trained BBQ judge. We talked for the next two days about many things that were relevant to judging and many things that were not, he was very impressive in my book. Like many others I gravitated toward Ronny at the various competitions after that. He was a good man that I will surely miss in the coming year. Thanks for the memory!

I have nothing but wonderful memories of a friendship we shared through our growing-up years in MT. You were always a sweet guy and a great friend. You listened and laughed at my whining from time to time. I knew I could always count on you if I needed a shoulder to cry on.
Your life ended way too soon for all of us. I only regret that I didn't know you were in the hospital here in Memphis, especially those last days. I would have been to see you. Remembering you will always bring a smile to my face.
