Bert Rogers' Funeral Expenses

Our beloved husband, father, grandpa, and great-grandpa Bert Rogers passed away just after his 78th birthday.

Bert was an incredibly devoted and loving husband. His 56 years of marriage to his soulmate were characterized by weekly date nights, complete devotion to each other, and always holding hands. Together they have loved and been involved with the Navajo people for over 40 years.

Bert was very hardworking, loved working with his hands, and had a special talent for woodworking. His life was spent using his hands to quietly love and serve others while refusing payment. He could always be found working on a project or fixing something for someone else. His greatest joy was his family and he loved nothing more than spending time with them, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Each one knew that they were Grandpa’s favorite and they were delighted by his sense of humor, twinkle in his eye, and handmade gifts. He loved nature, camping, gardening, traveling with his sweetheart, and taking his family motorcycle riding when they were younger. His last thoughts were of his family and his love for each of them.

Bert was a life-long, active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and had a firm and unshakeable testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He served in many callings throughout his life and especially loved his time as a temple worker. He served three full-time missions for the church: as a young man in the Florida Mission, then with his sweetheart in the Arizona Phoenix Mission (CES) and the New Mexico Farmington Mission. Bert’s quiet strength and perpetually kind demeanor drew others to him especially in time of need and he was always there to help without judgment while sharing his testimony. He was a great example to everyone he met.

His sweetheart needs assistance with unexpected funeral expenses. She will receive 100% of donations after GoFundMe's fees.

Thank you for whatever you might be able to donate, large or small.
