John Noel Rogers, of Milford, MI passed away on Thursday, January 29, 2026. He was 88 years old.
John Rogers, born in Detroit, Michigan, to proud parents, Noel and Clara Rogers was a graduate of Cooley High School, and honorably served his country in the United States Army Reserve (National Guard) until March, 1963.
