He was a fierce protector, a gentle mentor, a loyal friend and a loving man of God.

Jacky Rodgers was a remarkable man… he will be dearly missed but his legacy will live on within us all. “The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them” (Proverbs 20:7). We will continue to find peace and comfort in Paul’s letter to Timothy, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7). Our family’s heart is full knowing that our Husband, Dad, PeePaw, Brother, Uncle, and Friend ascended to Glory to hear his Savior say, “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew25:21).
