Gene was born October 2, 1944, to Thaddeus and Eddie Mae Ford Rogers in Winston County, Mississippi. He was a member of South Louisville Baptist Church. Gene was retired from the construction industry.
Gene is survived by his son, Todd Rogers of Pickensville, Alabama and his sister, Jane Snow of Noxapater, Mississippi. One of his greatest joys was being “Pa Paw” to his two grandsons, Will-Corbin (Alaina) Rogers and Landon (Grace) Rogers. He dearly loved his family and enjoyed spending time with them, especially with his great-granddaughter, Raylee Kate Rogers. He was preceded in death by his son Bart Rogers; his daughter, Karen Rogers; his parents; brother Jimmy Rogers; and sister, Patty Rogers Fioramonti.
Serving as pallbearers are Will-Corbin Rogers, Landon Rogers, Richard Rogers, Brett Fioramonti, Lavern Collins, and Jesse Ford. Memorial contributions in honor of Gene may be given to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital online at stjude.org.
