In loving memory of my father, a true DADDY, Larry Wayne Rogers, 52 years old. 
He was born February 12, 1960.  He began his new life with Our Heavenly Father on February 27, 2012. 



 My father was an ambitious, Godly man, with a remarkable love for his family.  He was passionate and talented at spreading the Word of God and Our Savior Jesus Christ.


He knew how to make people laugh!  He dearly loved his three daughters- Shauna Hannah Patton, Jennifer Harwood Mobley, and me, but his grandchildren were the light of his life - Devin Patton, Dylan Hancock, Jacob Patton, Brookie Patton, and Ambria Harwood.  My daddy will always be in our hearts.
Please share any stories, photos, videos, or just post a tribute!

Hey Brudder. I just wanted to stop by and say hello and listen to your sermon again. I think back to this day 9 years ago and the pain was so bad. As I sad there holding your hand I knew you were in a better place and no more pain. I guess I just need to say Happy 9th Birthday. Love you and we will be together again soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LARRY. It been 9 years sense you left us. Missing you just as bad today now as I did 9 years ago. There are good days and then there are days that I feel like you are right here with me. It's hard on those days and finally, I say Larry please leave me alone, because I know I can't see you. I'm sure Gary is thinking of you today, being you guys always called each other on this day. He isn't doing too good. He has had a lot of health problems. It's a miracle from the Lord he is alive today.  You gained another member of our family this year. Debbie Bell passed away and I miss her so much, but I'm sure she is with you, mom, dad, Kathy, Pat & Claudene.  I ask the Lord to please don't let us lose another member of this family. Please Lord come get us all at the same time. I will be thinking about you today and how old you will be.  I love you Larry. Love, Sista Debbie

Hey Larry, just dropping in to say I Love & Miss You. I think of this day 7 years ago with mixed feelings.  I wasn't ready to let you go, I thought we had more time together. And then I'm thankful your no longer in pain. But that doesn't make missing you any easier. I know you are happier in your new home with the Lord, mom, dad and Kathy.  I can't wait till the day we are all together again. I set and laugh about things that remind me of you and then I end up crying because I wish you were here in person instead of in my memories. Larry you would be so proud of your girls.  You have a new grandson, Jennifer is happly married to a great guy. No doubt you would give him a stamp of approval. Candace has been through a lot health wise. She is too stubborn like her daddy to let it get her down. She is doing better and she has also found a great guy with 2 children. And of course Anita is always there with her hands held out to help them in every way she can, as always. You had a tough wife.
I love you Brudder, see you soon.  Love Sista, Dobbie & Harvey

Larry today is your birthday. Oh how I wish I could pick up the phone and call and say I you. I still have your name and number in my cell phone. I just can't erase it.  I can't wait till the day comes when I can put my arms around your neck and give you a big hug. I posted yours and Gary's birthday on Face Book today and I had to say Happy Birthday to both you and Gary. Just don't sound right saying just one name. I had to say both names. I'm sure if you could hear in Heaven, Gary also sent you a Birthday Wish. I Love You Brudder.

Larry I sure wish you were here so I could say Happy Birthday Brudder.
I know this day is hard on Gary. He always had a twin brother to say happy birthday to. Now he has to celebrate this day by himself.    You will never know how much I miss you. If tears could bring you back you would have only been gone a second. I know you had to go, but you cheated us by going so soon. You go ahead and enjoy Heaven, The Lord, Mom, Dad and all the others. My prayer is the rest of your family will see you there one day. Having said this I'm going to say one more thing. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRUDDER. I Love & Miss You so much. Enjoy the streets of gold. Love Always, Dobbie & Harvey

Two years ago from today, I left work early again to visit daddy in Cartersville Medical Center's ICU... I think it was his 4th or 5th day in the ICU. He was sleeping when I walked into his room - I made sure to be very quiet because the wonderful ICU nurses said he had a rough night and finally fell asleep 10mins before I walked in. I cautiously placed pieces of scotch tape on the back of Dylan's handmade birthday cards and taped them to the wall under the TV. The machines that he was hooked up to were far louder than a freight train, but as soon as I sat down in the chair next to his bed, he opened his eyes - his eyes didn't wonder around the room nor did he tried to focus his eyes, like when someone first wakes - his eyes were already locked onto me, as if he knew where I was before awaking... we just stared at each other, which seemed like eternity because he didn't have to say a word BUT I knew what he was thinking and vice versa... he asked me if he was about to die. I kissed him on the forehead and told him, "of course not & get that out of your head" ... I truly believed he was ludicrous for asking such a question. I thought he would pull out of this one, just as all the other times (as well as times he was in the hospital without telling anyone...well, not telling family members). Prior to this ICU admission (Dec2011), several doctors & specialists told me (and dad and others in the room...) that if dad didn't do something now, then his body will give out on him within the next year... So, I tried to talk dad into coming home with me, considering he was now on a special diet & strict regime of meds, and stay with me or at least come back home so I can just walk up the hill to care for him... but it was to no avail. Anyways, I'm veering off the topic ;) After dad caught a glimpse of the cards taped under the TV, a tear trickled down his cheek from his blinded eye... I'll continue with this story at a later time.
My daddy was a great, Godly man and I am so proud to be his daughter!! Eventually, we shall be together again with Our Heavenly Father.

... then reality hit... even if I couldn't make a few things "work" for Dylan... ALL that matters is that Dylan learns about our Heavenly Father and what Christ did for us.

... still remember the day I was walking down the aisle of my first wedding, at the base of the stairs, I paused & flashed a "maybe this is a bad idea," glance at daddy... he understood, but was relentless to prove the point of bringing new life to God's domain was a miracle, HE WAS SO RIGHT!!!!

I have missed my Bro so much, I know your in a much better place with no pain and with Daddy and Mom and other loved ones. I sure miss talking with you and all the laughs. If tears could bring our loved ones back you would have never left us. Someday we will be together but until then we have to be strong for each other.Love you and miss you so much.

Even though none of us girls of the family took this picture nor were we there, daddy you were always a huge part of my heart — there was way too much of the “good” times which DEFINITELY outweighed the “bad” times

The shirt off his back......

July 8, 2013
by Allan Jones @ Delta

I remember all the way back to 1994 or 1995 (which is pretty hard for me now) Larry got 2 tickets to a Vols football (Is there any other team worth watching, Larry? LOL)  game against UCLA (they were a very good team that year) and he and I were going to fly all the way to Pasadena to see them play in the Rose Bowl. The plan was to fly in a day early, check in at the motel in Pasadena, check out the Rose Bowl as well as some of the Vols fans. We flew into LAX, rented the car and started the drive to Pasadena. After 5 minutes, I realized my wallet was missing. In a panic, we drove back to the airport and went to the gate agent. She gave me the wallet which someone had nicely returned........minus all the cash that I had brought with me for the weekend's festivities.  In those days my credit union did not issue check/debit cards and I didn't bring any credit cards with me.  A hard lesson to learn, and I turned to Larry and started to say: "Well have a great weekend..." He interrupted me in mid sentence, saying "I got ya covered! C'mon, lets go!" This was not a cheap weekend, folks.....but I went with him and preceded to have the time of my life. The starter QB for UT broke his leg and Peyton Manning got his start  and of course the rest is history. (although we lost the game in a nailbiter that went down to the final seconds.) I have never forgotten Larry's generosity and always think of him as the friend who would give you the shirt off his back if you asked him....God bless you Larry, I was lucky to be called your friend.....Allan

Our Full Moon Tradition

February 12, 2013
by Candace Mae

During our (Jennifer and I) younger years, dad HABITUALLY kept up with the lunar phases!  He did this because he created a "daddy & girls" tradition during each full moon... no matter what night it was, even school nights (which was a big deal for us at that age! especially with his strict schedule, so we thought "yaaaa, full moon!").  Every "full-moon" night, dad grabbed several slices of individually wrapped Kraft American cheese, and then took us out to the diving-board of the pool and unwrapped our cheese slices for us and then eat the cheese while gazing up at God's wonderful creation of the moon... the chit-chats were relaxing.  
I'll always remember those precious moments with him!
