John Lewis Rogers Jr.

John attended both Highland and then West Valley high schools and served in the US Air Force immediately after. He was involved in sports throughout his life. He was a big fan of the Mariners and Seahawks. At 15, he coached his younger brother's little league baseball team.

He met the love of his life, Loyce, in 1967 and they were married that same year, in Coeur d'Alene, ID. The most important thing in his life was his family. He enjoyed golf, fishing, horse races, and working at Westwood West Golf Course.
