Jason Rogers Obituary
Brandon
Jason Aaron Rogers, 28, born on April 9, 1982 in Jackson, Mississippi, paid the ultimate sacrifice defending his country in the United States Marine Corps on April 7, 2011 in Northern Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Visitation is 6-9 pm Friday April 15, 2011 at Pinelake Church in Flowood. Services are 3 pm Saturday at the church with burial in New Brandon Cemetery with full military rites. Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Ott and Lee Funeral Home in Brandon.
Jason was a graduate of the class of 2000 from Brandon High School in Brandon, MS. After the fall of the Twin Towers on Sept 11, 2001, Jason had a calling to make a difference for his country and to defend the freedom that we, all too much, take for granted. Jason passed away doing what he loved most. He was a true Marine that loved his country. Before his last deployment, families conveyed how proud their Marine was to be in his squad. Everyone looked up to Jason because he was born to be a true leader. Marines and families all over the country have offered condolences which are greatly appreciated. His family is experiencing the astounding affects of Jason's kindness and compassion he had on others.
Jason was an experienced combat engineer in the Marines for 8 years in which he attained the rank of Staff Sergeant. He loved his job and wouldn't trade it for the world. He was deployed on six overseas assignments, five of which were combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was a highly decorated Marine not only with his uniform, but in spirit. He was so proud of his country and in the end gave the ultimate sacrifice a soldier can give in honor of it.
Growing up Jason loved going out and playing basketball with his friends and washing his car. When he was young he sometimes slept with his basketball and promised one day he would play in the NBA. Jason also loved getting dirty and being outdoors which joining the Marines definitely did not hinder. Jason was a practical joker in every sense and was always making people laugh despite the situation. Jason always had a smile on his face and was always happy. He was one of the most compassionate and caring young Americans. He was the type of person who would give the shirt off his back even if it was the only one he had. Jason could never walk by someone who was homeless without giving them something or at least talking to them. Jason was a true soldier to his core and led his life to it fullest. He is loved by all and will be greatly missed. God Bless and Godspeed.
Survivors include his wife, Angela Rita Marie Rogers; parents, Jennifer Cunningham Smith & William Edward Smith of Brandon, MS and Tracy Aaron Rogers & Liz M. Rogers of Ridgeland, MS; brothers, Brad Wesley Bynum of Brandon and girlfriend, Ashley Buchly of Bryan, TX, Michael Brandon Smith and wife, Lauren of Oxford, MS and Jordan Rogers of Florence, MS; sisters, Leigh Ellen Smith Barnes and husband, Jason of Atoka, TN and Michelle Lynn Smith Bennett and husband Alan of Brandon, MS; maternal grandparents, Theron Donald Cunningham and Sarah Jane Cunningham of Terry, MS; paternal grandparents are Judi Rogers of Ridgeland, MS and the late Aaron J. Rogers, Ruby Chapman Smith and the late James Alton Smith of Brandon, MS; mother and father-in-law, Rosanna and George Paidousis of Ohio; aunts, Sherry Rogers Griggers and husband Brien R. of Houston, TX and the late Phyllis Smith Harris of Brandon, MS; uncles, Christopher Donald Cunningham of Pearl, MS, Theron Douglas Cunningham of Yazoo City, MS , Dennis Carl Smith and wife Robin of Jackson, MS, Gene Allen Smith and wife Barbara of Ridgeland, MS and Ronnie Alton Smith and wife Genia of Meridian, MS. He is also survived by several nieces and one nephew.

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

To Jason's wife. Mother &family & Friends & fellow Marines; Thank You for your sacrifice of such a great guy. He was the best of the best. I met Jason when he was in Hattiesburg, I was his apt. manager. I will never forget his SMILE. Thank you Jason for being my hero. He ran on the Longleaf Trail early every morning. He was training for all of us and his fellow Marines. He came to my rescue when I was having trouble getting some young scoundrels out of the pool. He stepped out his back door, and lets just say the kids tennis shoes were smoking when he hit the trail. As you all go through this horrible time I will be praying for the strength you will need. This American HERO will never be forgotten. May God hold you in his arms until you are reunited with him. The world keeps turning & your world has stopped. I will remember his smile every time I see the sun, because thats how great a smile he had.
God Bless

Rogers, Smith and Hudson Families,
May God hold SSGT Rogers in the Palm of His Hand. May the Grace of the Holy Spirit wrap this family in love and peace. It was due to his sacrifice that we lay our heads on our pillows at night in a country that is not war torn. For that we must always honor this Marine.
The flag does not wave due to the wind... it waved as this Leather Neck blew his last breath.

To the Rogers family,
I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. I truly feel your loss and pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Jason will never be forgotten.
For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if it’s allowed
But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.
For those missing in action;
for those who didn’t make it home.
I know you’re in God’s presence you are not alone.
For every neatly folded flag;
for every shattered family
I will do the only thing I know to dignify your memory.
I salute you, allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
my humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you .
I Salute You.

To the family of Staff Sgt. Jason A. Rogers. I left a msg. here in regards to the loss of Jason, a soldier who gave his life for our freedon and America. I have come back to write one more thing in regards to the many names and places people are from. I noticed one from Ellisville, Ms. My gfather was born in Ellisville, in 1896. I loved my gfather so much. He was not a service man, but he loved his country, he loved the LORD, and every day of his life he gave his life for JESUS, to let the world know about him. He was a minister, and was so loved by so many people in our community here in Texas. He made Texas his home, when he left Miss., and I saw many people leaving msgs., in Honor of Sgt. Rogers. My gfather's name was Rev. Julious C. Cole. My Great Uncle was from Puckett.,Ms., and he was a Judge there, Judge Quitman Cole. I have a place in my heart for Ms. being called home. When we were children we went there often. I have many wonderful memories of Puckett, Ms.
Again, to this family of Jason Rogers, I know your pain isn't easy,but so many of us grieve for your son & many other fallen soldiers you do not even know. We are helping you carry that burden,but JESUS is the one that carries it most for you. GOD BLESS YOU & Remember the wonderful memories Jason left for you, and also remember he is right now as we speak, he is with you. He is with you daily. I never had a son, but I have a gson, and I can imagine what you must be going thru. I didn't see my gson for almost 10 years, and it was as if he was gone. I cannot say your pain will go away, but I promise you it will get easier. R.I.P. Jason and you will be united one day with your family. This is why we have to live our lives for the LORD, and when he calls us home or when he comes back to take us all home we want to be in that group of JESUS' Soldiers and we will be reunited. Prayers and Blessings to the Rogers family. We are all praying daily for our soldiers and I pray all others here in America or wherever you might be. GOD LOVES US ALL. "HOW GREAT THOU ART with his AMAZING GRACE." Sharon Cole-Nelson McCarthy. 04/17/2011
