My sincerest condolences to the Rogers family. May you find comfort in your memories of him. I played high school football with Dan and knew him as a generous and kind young man. He was one of the more noticeable characters around school and on the sports teams at Southeast; and was a formidable talent as a wrestler on some very good teams in 1971 and '72. We are all suffering through a long season of loss. May all of the lost rest in God's eternal peace.
