A year has come and gone and our lives have been forever changed. Grieving is a journey that brings up different challenges, memories, tears and laughter. I still see your face and shake my head. I love you and miss you. Keep watching over us.

Dear Linda and Michael, brothers and sisters of John, nieces and nephews of Uncle John ~ his FAMILY and Many Friends,
I am so very sorrowful for your Loss.
FAMILY was always at the center of my youngest brother's heart. John was a devoted and loving husband and father, brother,brother-in-law, VIP Uncle and Friend.
John's most cherished gift was his capacity to LOVE his Family and enjoy ALL of the good times with them. John cared, nurtured and always kept in touch with All of his nieces and nephews. He loved his large family unconditionally.
You brightened my life, all of our lives with your presence, humor, Music, song, laughter, athletics, and your made us each feel cherished by your heart.

May you continue to inspire us and Love us forever. I will always miss you and hold tight the God-given years of memories shared with a treasured and loving brother. 'I'll see you in the sky above, in the tall grass and in the ones that I love....you're gonna make me lonesome when you go.'
Love you with all of my heart,
Beanie

To all the Rodgers Family: My heart goes out you all. John always lived his life with a unique zestful sense of humor. I will treasure my own memories of The Abbey, young adults in Denver and countless adventures on the hardwood. Feel those memories.

Dear Linda and Michael,
We are so saddened to hear of the loss of John, a beloved husband and father. He was such a great friend to so many and we count ourselves lucky to have known him. He had a special way about him with music and sharing his sense of humor. He will be sorely missed by so many.
Know that we keep you both in our hearts and prayers during this time of sorrow.
With deepest sympathies,
Bob and Laura Hoffman

I never met John, except on the telephone (countless times). He did work for me and many others at the company I worked for. He was always gracious, and extremely competent. I am saddened by his passing. He is missed by me. William Dickson Attorney at Law retired

Dear Linda, Michael, and all my Rodgers cousins -- I'm glad I was able to meet John on a few occasions and spend some time with the extended family. John was a great guy, and his love for the family was obvious. He will be missed.

I wish I could have been there for his services. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Brother John I will never be able to express in words what has always been there whatever differences we as brothers had. I always returns to this on phrase and I state this from the deepest part of me. I love you brother John. Linda and Michael, I love you also and will always be here for you. Brother Steve, Uncle Steve and finally, Brother-in-law--Steve

I will miss my brother John deeply. He contained within himself a magnificent and contagious love of life and people. I loved his grace in sport (tennis, basketball, baseball, golf), his over-the-top competitive spirit, the gentle, gorgeous timbre of his singing voice, the beauty of his guitar playing. I loved how he loved his family, Linda and Michael, and how he could extend that love to so many others, particularly all his nieces and nephews...to children in general. I will miss his presence here...on planet Earth. I will look for that presence in the winds, the rain, the waving grasses, the stars, the hawk in circling flight. Sue Rodgers Hammond (sister)

Sue, I am so sorry to read about your brother's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May your beautiful memories of your brother bring you comfort. <3 Sally Mutter

Love, Bree O'Shea and family

My uncle John was the best. I looked forward to him and Linda and Michael coming to stay with us at spring break every year. I loved hearing him laugh or cheer while watching sports on TV with my husband and son, and seeing him get ready for his bike rides - sharing our best stretch techniques that helped our always problematic backs, making special apple oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies for he and his family when they came and relaxing in San Diego or the desert and sharing some great memories and conversation. I love you Uncle John and will miss you so very very much. Love Marsoid.

Dear Linda & Michael and all my Rodgers cousins & their families, I am so sorry to hear of John's sudden passing. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. Love and Prayers.

Dear Linda and Michael,
My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you. I have been reminded of the preciousness of life, the joy that John brought to his friends and family, and the beauty of the promise we have of eternal life. God bless you. Love, Danette Grantz

Holding you all in love and light.

Dear Linda and Michael,My prayers and deepest sadness are with you. John was 'one of a kind' as a husband, father and person.
"The most important single influence in the life of a person is another person...who is worthy of emulation." That was John. He will be missed as a positive energy in the world and in your lives.

Dear Linda and MIchael, although no words can really ease the loss you bear, please know that you are very close in our thoughts and prayers, DAILY. May the peace that comes from your special memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead. Carol /Danny Way (Spring, Texas)

I worked with John for many years and I am shocked and deeply saddened about his passing. He would include some very funny descriptors about my clients that I will never forget! May John's family find peace in the memories they shared with him.

Dear Linda & Michael and my Rodgers cousins, Sharon, Sue, Beanie, Ed (Bunker), Steve & Mary and their families-- I extend my deepest sympathy for the sudden loss of your husband, father and brother, John. I truly wish I could fly from Massachusetts to Colorado to be with you all tonight & tomorrow for services. Know that I am with you in Spirit with much love and prayers for you & for John.

John Rodgers will always be alive in my heart, as I am sure he will be in all of yours who knew him. He has not only my love and friendship, but my respect and admiration. He will always be hitting a golf ball a mile or dunking a basketball in my memories, playing a new song on the phone, or singing with me, to say nothing of the countless hours that come to mind of the million ways we played and competed together.

My deepest sympathy to all of his family. Love and peace.
My prayers are with you.

Von M. Bray

Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.
