Dennis Rogers Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 16, 2025.
Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, papa and uncle, Dennis (Denny) Michael Rogers passed away on 5/12/25 surrounded by the love of his family. He leaves a legacy of love and quiet strength.

Born on November 13, 1949, Dennis lived a full life despite a motorcycle accident in 1982 which left him in a wheelchair the rest of his life. He was a successful businessman having worked for many telecommunications companies, with some of the most recent including Cisco Systems, Century Link and ending his career owning his own company, Advanced Technical Systems (ATS).

Prior to his motorcycle accident, Dennis loved golf and softball. After his accident, he loved coaching a girls softball team and spending time on Lake Havasu with friends and family. In addition, he loved giving wheelchair "rides" to his nieces and nephews.

On November 24, 1984, Dennis married the love of his life, Charlene Campbell.

Dennis leaves behind his wife, whom he was with and married to for 45 years, Charlene; son Matt Rogers (daughter Addysen); daughter Amy (Rogers) and Jason Weigle and their 3 children Gabe (Lauren), Anna and Ben Weigle; sister Pam Kalin, her daugther Heather Kalin and her children Mackinley, Waylon and Wyatt; brother Rich Rogers and his 4 children Brandon (wife Christie) and their sons Zach and Andrew; Derek (wife Teresa); Kyle (wife Andrea) and their children Kiersten and Jackson; Meggan (Rogers) and Jon Lagro and 3 sons Jacob, Chase and Grant; Dan Leppien and his daughters Kelsey (daughter Harper) and Katie; Tom Leppien; niece Krista and Lucas Peterson (daughter Georgia); his sister-in-laws Mary Gaye Rogers and Linda "Luck" Wagner (children Ashleigh and Josh).

At a later date, there will be a celebration of life both in Arizona and Colorado.
