September 16, 1940 – July 25, 2021
Jerry D. Rogers, 80 years old, went home to be with the Lord on July 25, 2021.
God has showered Jerry with miracles during many years of heart issues and hospitalizations. He was a quiet man, but he had God’s spirit in him that he shared with others. His family says that he was unselfish and charitable.
Jerry was a fireman for the city of Miami Beach, Florida for 25 years. He lived in South Florida and loved diving, fishing, and playing tennis. Jerry always had show trucks that he would shine up and drive to various shows around the country. He loved flowers and would work daily in the yard to make it perfect.
Jerry is survived by his wife, Linda Rogers; son, Robert C.; daughter, Sheryl and her husband Robert Abad; a granddaughter, Jessica Abad; grandson, C.J. Abad and his wife Allison. He is also survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Deborah and Joe Weinflash, and their daughter, Mindy Hertzon.
Jerry was a sweet, unselfish man. He always took up for the underdog. He was a best friend to my husband, Buddy, who admired him greatly. I knee Jerry as a gentleman and a loving friend. He will always be remembered as a man who stood up for his Christian values.
Jerry and I were very close our senior year in high school. I spent every Friday night after a football game at his house. He and I went every Friday to St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church to say a prayer before each game. We bought a 51 Buick together and fixed it up. Linda I have so many stories and GR88 memories. He passed on my first grandson’s birthday and My wife and our anniversary. I will always remember him in my prayers. May his memory be eternal. I can say I loved Jerry Rogers.
