Will Rogers Obituary
Will is survived by his wife Mary of Kinston; four children, Clara Criste of Deep Run, Will Rogers Jr. and wife Debby of Kinston, Robbin Parker of Macclesfield and Dawn Moore and husband John of Dover; five grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.
In 1970, Will started Kinston Fire Extinguisher Service. Prior to that, he was a firefighter at Kinston Fire Department. The highlight of his day was greeting his customers with a new joke or story. His mission in life was to leave everyone that he met with a smile on their face and a little more happiness in their heart.
A graveside service will be held at 2 PM Tuesday, December 1, 2020 at Oak Ridge Memorial Park, 985 NC-11, Pink Hill, NC.
Online condolences may be sent to www.pinkhillfuneralhome.com

What a great guy! I first met Will many, many years ago working with a petroleum supplier that used Will's service(s). Had conversation and contact with him off and on for almost 20 years. Hadn't seen Will in quite a few years but remember him being first rate. Condolences and sympathy to all his family.
