John Lee Rogers, 85, of Springdale, passed from this life on November 1, 2017 in Springdale at the Circle of Life hospice home. John was born on September 19, 1932 in Harco, Illinois to Elmer and Clara (Stephenson) Rogers. John was an amazing person who loved everyone and treated everyone equally. He treated people in a way that we should all treat one another. He was not able to attend school as a child, but through Partners In Education with Monitor Elementary he finally had the chance to go to school later in life. John also loved spending time at the Springdale Senior Center with his friends, especially his good friend Lori Proud director at the Springdale Senior Center. The Rogers family wishes to express their gratitude to the Circle of Life staff for the excellent care John received and to the Springdale Senior Center for all of their support. He will truly be missed by all who knew him. John is preceded in death by his parents, Elmer and Clara Rogers; a brother, James Rogers; and one sister, Shirley (Rogers) Nelson. Left to cherish John's memory are brothers, Melvin Rogers and Donald Rogers and wife Cheryl; one sister, Wanda Walker; many nieces and nephews; his special caregiver, Janice Davis; and many friends. A Celebration of Life service will be held in John's honor at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 8 at the Springdale Senior Center. Please visit John's online memorial at www.WestfieldChapel.com.
