Jim married Karen Bufanda Rogers in 1979. They enjoyed many years of camping and fishing together, and he was an avid hunter.

He leaves to cherish his memory, wife Karen, daughters Kelly Moore and her sons Tyler and Chase, and Nancy Bonner and her children Roia, Hunter and Sawyer. He also leaves his brother David Rogers (Darla), niece Katie Resendez and numerous nephews, nieces and great grandchildren.
