Brandon Adam Rogers

Brandon Adam Rogers 1997 ~ 2004  Brandon Adam Rogers, at the young age of six years old, returned to the loving embrace of his Heavenly Father on June 5, 2004. Brandon was born on August 22, 1997 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Adam and Kristen Rogers. He moved with his family two months later to Idaho Falls, Idaho where he had his first taste of cold winters and learned to love the outdoors. At age five his family moved to Tooele, Utah where he went to Kindergarten, graduated from first grade, and enjoyed making great new friends. Brandon thrived on excellence, succeeding at all that he undertook and making the most difficult challenges look easy. His challenges started at an early age, spending the first two weeks of his life at Primary Children's Hospital combating Hirschsprung's disease, the first of many of his young life's fights that he beat and overcame. Strong spirited and with a contagious smile, Brandon was in continual motion. He never stopped moving or doing something new. He loved working on projects, inventing things, swimming, playing the piano, rollerblading, working in the garden, playing goalie for his soccer team, building castles in the sand, being an example for his brother and sister, mowing the lawn for his father, and sitting in his mother's lap listening to her read him favorite stories. Brandon also loved to sing. He joined a singing group when he was three and started performing solos at age four. Some of our fondest memories will be of his beautiful clear voice singing memorized hymns such as Praise to the Man and Ye Elders of  Israel. Brandon looked forward to the day when he could serve the Lord on a full-time mission. Having been called home early by his Father in Heaven, Brandon now fulfills that dream, serving the Lord in His work as well as watching over his beloved family and friends. Brandon will be dearly missed by his mother and father, Kristen Dickerson Rogers and Adam Zachary Rogers; his younger sister and brother, Mikelle Rogers and Justin Zachary Rogers; and by all his many cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and friends. Funeral services for Brandon will be held Wednesday, June 9th at 1 p.m. in the Droubay Ward building, 691 East Cedarview Street in Tooele, Utah. Friends may call Tuesday evening from 6-8 p.m. at the Tate Mortuary, 110 South Main in Tooele or Wed. morning at 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the ward chapel prior to the services. Interment will take place in the Pleasant Grove City Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established in Brandon's name at the Tooele Federal Credit Union.
