I met Steve in Tuscon when I first entered VQ as a youth. I had long hair and he walked in and said ready to get your hair cut? I wasnt going to argue LOL. All through the years I was apart of the program his and Bobs leadership made me a better person. I hope we meet again sometime.

An insightful & inspirational man who helped save me, back in the day when I was a troubled and unruly adolescent. Tough enough to scare you, yet soft enough to empower change within you. I will always remember the personal contributions he made to my life. Godspeed, Steve Rogers. You will be missed.

Steve was the heart beat...the pulse...of our work for many years. He was a father above all else and he demanded that of us. Often not gentle in his approach he was always gentle in the end. In between was the heat of competing to be the best at whatever challenges we faced. That heat forged us all into better servants to kids, better parents, leaders and human beings. In the end that was not lost on me. It is burned into the fabric of how i engage my own sons, grandsons and family. For that i am eternally grateful. Thank you and God Bless You, Steve.

Our heartfelt condolences to the Rogers family. Steve touched many lives- staff and kids in VisionQuest. His passion for troubled kids impacted me in my first group interview with VisionQuest and turned my curiosity into a career. He was a wonderful father and raised outstanding kids, who in turn-especially Colleen and Eric, made a lasting impression on my children.

Steve was a wonderful friend and mentor to so many. We always appreciated him being in the wagon train or wilderness camp with is. It was always great because we both had daughters named Colleen. RIP Steve and know you touched many lives. Prayers to all the Rogers family. Love, Marty, Sue, Megan Keelan and Colleen, Ed, and Isabelle Lillard

To Steve Rogers family: Jim n I worked for VisionQuest for 20 years 1988 and retired 2008. We also had 2 sons and two daughter in laws work at the Franklin Camp Pennsylvania. I want to say our work and time we spent at VisionQuest was a great adventure. The time with kids and staff was heart filling. We respected the program that he started. He was someone to look up to. All us staff and kids were always glad to see him in camp or anywhere on the property. He always remembered you name and always had time to share with you. Made you as a staff feel wanted, needed and important. Thank you Steve for sharing your time, life and love with us. Rest in Peace job well done here on earth. Heaven has received an Angel.
