OBITUARY

Obituary of Ethan Rogers
IN THE CARE OF
Clements-Wilcox Funeral Home

Ethan Rogers went to be with God on September 17, 2014, following a short but hard fought battle against renal cell cancer. He entered this world on January 14, 1977, in Corpus Christi, TX. He was born to parents Jim and Drusilla Rogers and welcomed by a big brother Gaeron. He was blessed to be surrounded by these family members in his final moments.

Ethan was always full of curiosity, happy to bring in snakes, hatching snake eggs, orphaned birds, adopted cats and anything else that he might find along the way. He always wanted to be a big brother, also and was sure to watch "Wednesday's Child" trying to find a little brother or sister for his mom & dad to adopt! He had a very soft spot for anyone/anything who needed his help.

However, he was a very competitive athlete from playing PeeWee football for the Bertram Panthers to proudly being a Burnet Bulldog! Football was his favorite sport with outside linebacker his favorite position; he was All-District in '94-'95 and '95-'96, he also lettered in basketball with a great 3 point shot and he ran track.

He attended Sul Ross University in Alpine, Capital City Trade School in Austin to become a HVAC technician, and then started his electrician's training. He found a home at LCRA/Buchanan Dam in 2002 with his most recent position as a Senior Electrician at Buchanan Dam. He appreciated his LCRA "family" as they were supportive and helpful during his illness.

Ethan made friends easily and was blessed with many friends all over the U.S. He had a ready, devilish smile together with sparkling blue eyes. And when he was cooking, it was game on! He had designed and built, along with help from his friends, a barbeque trailer with a full kitchen and sleeping quarters. He catered many parties, benefits, weddings and wine tastings. His brisket and ribs were the best! He truly has a passion for cooking and was quite creative in inventing new dishes, which his friends and family were happy to sample.

Ethan is survived by his daughter Kinsley Rogers, his parents Jim and Drusilla Rogers, his brother and sister in law Gaeron and Charla Rogers, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles and many, many friends. He is in the hearts of so many, and will never be gone or forgotten.

Honoring Ethan as pallbearers is a very special group of friends: Bryan Cokendolpher, Bryan Tarla, Bobby Rex, Todd Morris, Cody Lewis, Lann Brizendine, Zack Grisham, Scott Bolm, and Blair Smith.

Visitation will be Thursday September 18, 2014, at Clements-Wilcox Funeral Home in Burnet from 6:00 – 8:00 PM. Funeral Services will be conducted by Ronnie Brooks and Jessie Crow at Bertram Church of Christ on Friday September 19, 2014 at 4:00 PM. Burial will follow at Bear Creek Cemetery.

Words cannot express our heartfelt thanks to the many people who have reached out to our family during this time of sadness. Ethan needed your love, prayers, and support during his fight and we ask for your love, prayers and support now as we keep him in our hearts.

Flowers are appreciated as well as memorials for Ethan which can be sent to R Bank PO Box 1619 Bertram, TX 78605.

Arrangements were made by Clements-Wilcox Funeral Home in Burnet, TX.
