David Rogers Obituary
David Allen John Rogers, age 40 of Stockton, Kansas, passed away on July 31, 2020 from a tragic, small craft mid-air collision in Soldotna, Alaska.
During the summer months, he spent his days leading adventures on the Alaskan frontier, and would then return home to do the same in Rooks County and surrounding areas, the rest of the year, through his own hunting guide business, “Beyond The Bend.” He chose that name because true to his adventurous spirit, he always knew there was something amazing, wonderful, and surprising just waiting for him and his fearless compadres, over, around, or beyond the next bend of whatever river, road, or trail they were traveling.
David had a sense of humor that was all his own. His infectious smile and use of clever sayings, known as “Davisms,” like “you get what you go get” could always put friends, family, and strangers at ease, even if there was a little tension in the air between folks. It didn’t matter who you were, when you heard him say, “We came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum! And we’re all out of bubble gum!” Well, all you could do was laugh, shake your head in agreement, and get on with gettin’ along.
David was one of a kind and will be sorely missed by everyone.
All funds donated will go to David's wife Rhonda and family to help cover travel and funeral expenses.
Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and donations.
