John Howard Rogers peacefully passed away at his home on Montell Creek, Wednesday, April 25th.

Born in Uvalde and raised on his family’s ranch in Montell, Texas, Rogers completed his secondary education in Uvalde before attending college at Sul Ross State University in Alpine. He roped many a calf on the university rodeo team while pursuing his MS in Biology with an emphasis in Botany, minoring in Geology.

With generations of ranching heritage, John dedicated a lifetime to managing his ranch, raising goats, sheep, and Brangus cattle, all the while a genuine steward of both the land and the water. His chosen career path was in heavy equipment and bulldozer operations, welding, and metal building construction. A hard-working man, devoted husband, and proud father, he provided his family plentiful love and exemplary moral.

John treasured his time spent with friends and was known as someone who would give you the shirt off his back. A lighthearted gentleman with a wonderful sense of humor, John Rogers was a teacher, a brother, and a father figure to many beloved friends and neighbors. His legacy will live for generations.

After his fearless battle with cancer, John has gone to live with our Lord. He is survived by his loving wife of 37 years, Denise Coward Rogers, his daughter Mary Kate Rogers Eicher, and son-in-law John Marshall Eicher III of Montell, and many adoring friends. He also is survived by brother Tom D. Rogers and sister-in-law Sue Rogers of Wheelock, and is preceded in death by his parents Victor Wendell Rogers and Stella Mae Tribbett Rogers of Montell.

Services will be held at 2pm Saturday, April 28th at the Montell Methodist Church, officiated by Dr. Elmer Herndon.
Interment will follow at Montell Cemetery.
