Kenneth Rogers Obituary

Mr. Kenneth “Howie” Howard Rogers, age 61 of Lawsonville, North Carolina passed away on Friday, August 23, 2024. He was born in Danbury, North Carolina on June 4, 1963, to the late Thomas Kenneth Rogers and Annie Marshall Rogers. A hardworking soul at his core, Howie found solace and happiness in labor. He thrived in the fields, dedicating himself to the land and the animals he loved dearly. Those darn cows were more than just livestock to him; they were a passion until they got out of the fence! Once he took on a task, Howie approached it with unwavering determination, never shying away from hard work. He wasn’t truly happy unless he was in the midst of his labors. Let us carry forward the lessons he imparted: the value of hard work, the importance of family, and the power of dedication. He loved being daddy to his children, but his grandchildren were the light of his life and they adored him and called him Papa, a title that brought him immense pride and joy. In their eyes, he was a hero, a figure of strength and warmth. Howie's simplicity made the most mundane moments shine brightly; he had a unique gift for making perfection look effortless. Howie Rogers leaves behind a world that is undeniably brighter for having known him. His memory will be cherished by all who were lucky enough to experience his love, humor, and earnest spirit. Howie will be dearly missed, but his legacy will live on in the hearts of his family and the many lives he touched.
