ROBERT ROGERS Obituary

Robert Reece Rogers III "Bucky", 65 of El Paso, TX, passed away on June 15, 2013. Born October 10, 1947 in Roswell, NM, Robert jokingly claimed he was brought to earth aboard the famed 1947 UFO. He served 6 years in the US Navy as a Reciprocating Engine Mechanic for military aircraft. Robert continued to pursue his passion for aviation when he took over the local family business "Buck Rogers Travel" in 1976, which he co-owned and ran for 17 years. Later, he continued exploring new opportunities in real estate & auto sales. Robert had an adoration for all things automobile, as evidenced in his religious practice of NASCAR events. He also had a passion for art, travel & boating. Robert's oddball humor, courageous demeanor and inquisitive nature will forever be in the memories left behind to family and friends. He was preceded in death by his mother, Elizabeth Reed Rogers; father, Robert Reece Rogers (Buck); brother, Tom Rogers. He is dearly loved and survived by daughter, Amanda Rogers; sons, Michael & Christian Rogers; grandchildren Beau & Paisley; sisters Deborah Rogers & Susan Kastrin. Services held Friday, July 5, 2013 at Ft. Bliss National Cemetery at 10:30 am, East Shelter; reception to follow.
