Jack Gordon Rogers

J. Gordon Rogers, 79, of Lubbock and formerly of Levelland, passed away on Thursday, October 14, 2020 at Lakeridge Rehab and Nursing Center, Lubbock, Texas after a lengthy illness. Gordon was born in Austin on December 29, 1930. He was born to Faye Gill Rogers and Frederick Rogers, both of whom preceded him in death. Gordon attended public schools in El Paso, Levelland and Tucumcari, New Mexico. He graduated from Levelland High School in 1948. He attended the University of Munich for one year and graduated from the University of Texas in Austin. He served in the United States Army and he was fluent in German and Spanish.

Gordon was baptized when he was 13 by Roy L. Foutz in the Austin Street Church of Christ. While living at Lakeridge, he was active in Bible study classes; his great joy was to attend the worship activities and services sponsored over the years by various congregations in Lubbock. His daily schedule was to read chapters out of both the Old and New Testaments. He especially loved to read his Bible in the German Language.

George Price Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Gordon will be cremated and a private family service will be held at a later time.

Gordon is survived by his guardians: Gary and Lin Gill and other cousins. Many thanks go to the administration, staff and residents of Lakeridge and to VistaCare Hospice for their care.
