Greg Rogan Obituary

Greg Rogan

On Saturday, April 24, 2010, Greg Rogan Sr., our beloved son, father, brother, and uncle, was welcomed into God's grace and the Kingdom of Heaven.

Born on September 25, 1969, Greg was preceded in death by his father, John T. Rogan III.

He leaves behind his beloved son, Greg Rogan Jr., whom he cherished; mother, Marge Rogan; a sister, Karen O'Neil and her husband Dr. Tim O'Neil; a brother, John and his wife, Ginny.

Greg's greatest pleasure was spending time with his family. He was a spirited competitor who loved playing and watching sports. He especially enjoyed attending his nieces' and nephews' games.

Greg lived his life with great kindness and compassion for others. He often expressed his appreciation for all God's gifts. He will be sincerely missed, but we are comforted by many special memories and the faith he is now at peace with our Father.

A visitation will be at The Church of the Incarnation, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. A Mass of the Resurrection will follow at 7:30 p.m. A graveside service will be held 11:30 a.m. Thursday, April 29, 2010, at Monticello Memory Gardens.

Friends may send condolences to the family at www.hillandwood.com.

Greg carried a burden none of us will know. This is a testament to the true strength of the man. As much as he showed his physical strength, we all know now his mental and spritual strength were his stronger assets. He served his country, his family, and his friends.

My friend Greg stands on the tee now, looking out onto the greenest of fairways in Heaven.

I wish I had been able to see him in this lifetime one last time. I know he sees me here and I know I will see him one day again in all his strength in Heavenly eternity.
Hoorah!

Dear Aunt Margie, Karen, John, and Greg Jr.,

I am so sorry for your loss. I know Greg fought a hard battle and I truly believe he is at peace now.
I pray for you all that you can find some way to understand why the lord does the things he does. I know I don't always; but I do give way to believing that through these kinds of struggles a greater purpose is served. What that may be I am sure I will never know while still here on earth.
Aunt Margie please know that you are in my constant thoughts and that I wish I could be there with you these next few days. I love you and wish I had the words at my disposal to make all of this easier for all of you.
Greg Jr. I know we have not met yet but your dad is still with you. I hope you will strive to fulfill all the wonderful dreams he had for you in honor of his memory. Life is not easy and trying to honor a memory is not an uncomplicated thing, but I'm sure with your Grandma and your Aunt and Uncle's help you can achieve anything and combat any obstacles you may face.
All my love to you all.

Greg was a great person and one of my favorite players while coaching Little League. There was no better family. My deepest sympathy is with them. I will always remember Greg for his personality and love for others. I know that he will be greatly missed and I also know that he can now join his Dad and teammates Matt & Chris in a much better place.

I went to high school with Greg and was shocked to hear the news of his passing this weekend. It's times like these that really put things in perspective. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived, as Greg was such a fun loving guy and his spirit shall live on.
