Ronald James “Ron” Rogers, 82, of Amarillo went to be with his Lord and Savior on November 17, 2025. He was born June 17, 1943 in Rochester, New York.
Ron was a man of faith; he loved the Lord with all his heart. He raised his four children in the admonition of the Lord. Ron was a graduate of Charlotte High School in Rochester.
He was a United States Air Force veteran who served during the time of Vietnam. Ron loved the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers. He loved serving others, and it was evident because he faithfully donated blood and platelets at Coffee Memorial throughout the years in Amarillo.
He was preceded in death by his parents Daniel H. and Katherine Rogers and a sister Debbie Muench.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Phyllis Regina Rogers; his children David Brent Rogers, Regina Nell Frank and her husband Michael, Nicole Marie DeJesus and her husband Jose, Nathan James Rogers; his eight grandchildren, Benjamin, Chloe, Hannah And Leah Frank, Kaleb Delesus, Isaac, Jesse and Rocco Rogers; his siblings Daniel Rogers, Cathy Schuler, Donald Rogers and Pamela Rogers and a host of nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of Life service will happen at a later time.
Dad you are loved and missed dearly. I know you are in heaven dancing with Jesus. I know one day I will see you again! Hugs and love from your Old Weed Picker!
Thank you for your heart for the Lord and your family. You demonstrated the love of the Father with all you came into contact with. You left a large legacy of faith.
Ron was such a nice man. I was blessed to know him over the last 10+ years. The team at Woodforest National Bank will miss Mr. Rogers.
With condolences. God bless.
Ron was a great donor for Coffee Memorial Blood Center. He always came with a smile, and it was always fun to talk to him about baseball, football, or even about life. I can personally say he was my favorite donor, he’s a great man and will be missed.
I only met Ron a couple of years ago, by chance at an Allsup’s at 2 am. I had stopped on my way back from a hospital for something to eat after a long day. He was working hard and took a moment to call me over when he saw my shirt had a Coffee Memorial logo on it. We had a nice chat, and from then on we took the opportunity to visit each time he came to our center to donate. I was struck by his commitment to give to others. He even had his post donation information sheet tucked away in his back pocket, with the exact number of donations he had given scribbled at the top. He didn’t know it, but meeting folks like him always gives those of us who work at CMBC the morale boost we need to continue serving area patients. I was glad to know Ron for the time that I was allowed to!
