Donald devoted 36 years to his career at the Kentucky Farm Bureau, retiring in 2006.

He also leaves behind his great-grandchildren, Evelyn and Emersyn Rogers.
In addition to his surviving family, Donald was preceded in death by his parents, John Henry Rogers and Vivian Cox Rogers, and his sister, Becky Cameron. His sister, Geneva Guinn, remains, along with many cherished friends and members of the community.
