> JIMMY ROGERS - 41 - Heavy Equipment Operator- Rogers Family Bluegrass Group
FORT MEADE -- Mr. Jimmy Rogers was a natural when it came to music and
won the state bluegrass championship in 1982 playing the mandolin. "He
could play the guitar first. He just learned to play them all. He was
good enough that he could use about any instrument," said his father,
James T. Rogers of Fort Meade. "In fact a couple of people called him
from Nashville, but he wouldn't go because he was real religious and he
didn't want to get worldly. "He could have been in Nashville, but he
just didn't want to choose that life." Mr. Rogers, who was a heavy
equipment operator and independent truck driver, died of heart failure
Monday (Aug. 23, 2004) at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg. He
was born in Bartow on Nov. 16, 1962, he grew up in Fort Meade where
he was a lifelong resident. He developed an interest in music while
watching his father perform in a bluegrass band and learned to play by
ear. "We played at all the bluegrass festivals and he just grew up in
it, he was a kid but he wanted to do the same. He had a God-given
talent to know music without anyone teaching him," James Rogers said.
The family organized its own bluegrass group called The Rogers Family
and performed throughout Florida. Mr. Rogers also taught instrumental
music. After working as heavy equipment operator for a couple of
businesses, Mr. Rogers bought his own Peterbilt semi. But he was also
called to preach. "He and another preacher spent two or three months in
the mountains, traveling and preaching at different churches in the
mountain areas," James Rogers said. He ministered on the radio in North
Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. Mr. Rogers was a member of the Full
Gospel Church.> In addition to his father, Mr. Rogers is survived by his
mother, Clara Ruthann Rogers of Fort Meade. Visitation will be from 6
to 8 p.m. Thursday at McLean Funeral Home, 306 E. Broadway in Fort
