Phillip Rogers

When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud

I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form

“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

-“Shelter from the Storm” by Bob Dylan

Phillip Rogers was born December 24, 1956 and passed away September 3, 2011.

To have known him was to know that he was an expert in American engines and could fix them all, he had world class Chess skills, and the he was constantly planning and designing his super computer. In a short conversation with him you would have learned that he was a Master of Time and Space, Rock n’ Roll Philosopher and Conspiracy Theorist of the highest order.

And in truth he was all of these things because he was who he was with everyone at all times. He was the funniest man in the room and most generous person in the world. He knew no stranger or limit to what he was capable of giving.

He loved his family above all things - his soul mate Amelia “Mil” Ruiz, his children “the Rogers Gang” – Jeremy, Amanda, Elizabeth, Jennifer and Samantha. He also leaves behind his two brothers Richard and Raymond Rogers and all the family who called him Uncle Phil and friend.

He would want everyone to know that God is good, God is great and God is never late.

Friends are cordially invited to a visitation with the family from five o’clock until seven o’clock in the evening, on Wednesday, the 7th of September 2011, at Cook-Walden Funeral Home, 6100 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, Texas.

Memorial Services will be conducted at seven o’clock in the evening on Wednesday, the 7th of September, in the Colonial Chapel of Cook-Walden Funeral Home, 6100 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, Texas.
