Danniel Rogers Obituary
December 24, 1951 - September 7, 2021
Kennewick, Washington - Born 24 December 1951 in Dodge City, Kansas. He passed away on 7 September 2021 at the age of 69. Dan married his High School sweetheart, Ruth, in 1969 and was married for 52 years.
Dan worked as a Cross Connect Specialist at the City of Kennewick, WA in the Water Department for 27 years, and retired in 2015. He was a lifelong lover of racing cars (of which he did for approximately 20 years), playing music on his guitars, fishing, and traveling to Belize and Cabo (with Ruth). He loved his miniature dachshund, Rocky, and would always say he couldn't do things, such as get him a beer, because he didn't have thumbs. He portrayed a tough exterior however his heart was always in a good place. The outpouring of condolences and love from friends and neighbors shows how much he was cared for. Dan's son and daughter want to thank family, friends, and neighbors that took the time to look after him, bring him meals, and keep him company over the years.
He is survived by his wife Ruth, their children Marc Rogers and Shellie Murphy, his 3 grandchildren, Ty Murphy, Tyler Mills, and Madison Murphy. His brothers Doug Rogers (Laura), Jerry Rogers (Julie), and Glen Rogers (Kim), his sisters Sandy Perez (Mario), Sally Rogers, and Kathy Pruitt and many nieces and nephews.
A celebration of life, potluck, will be held on 18 September from 1100AM – 3:00PM, at the Eagles Lodge, 115 N Fruitland St, Kennewick, WA.

Dan it´s hard to say goodbye to someone who loved life as much as you have so many good memories at work and deer hunting and in your garage watching you bust your knuckles on your race car. Getting ready for the weekend our family sat in the stands many a night cheering you on and enjoyed it so much . Our condolences go out to Ruth and the entire Rogers family !!
