Jared Douglas Rogers

Jared was a wonderful young man and a great friend, we will remember him with love and affection always. May GOD surround you with Peace And Love in this time of sadness.

My deepest condolences to everyone. You are all in my family's prayers each day.

We knew Jared from the airport. He was a stand-up guy and went out of his way to help me and my family on a regular basis. A bright light every day. I know from personal experience that he has influenced the lives of every one he came into contact with. God Bless.

Mark, Deana, Jacob and Jason,

I was so shocked and saddened by the tragic news of your loss. I can't begin to imagine your pain. My heart aches for the rest of the family also. I regret that I missed getting to know Jared. Sounds like he was a terrific young man. I am truly sorry. You are all in my prayers.

My heart breaks for Jared life so short, I will miss seeing him here @ the Airport.......
Praying for the family, know that you all are in my prayers and Jared's KUSA family too..

We will miss and think of Jared everyday. I had the great pleasure of seeing Jared every time we flew in and out of Beaumont..He always was there with a big smile and ready to help us with anything we ever needed...The airport just will not be the same without him, he is truly going to be missed. Not only did he become a great friend to me and Penni, he was like a big brother to Carson, who loved him dearly.! There are just too many great memories of Jared...! He was a Great Pilot, Great Person and Great Friend! We love you J-Rod!

Deana -
I remember Jared as an 8 year old boy swimming in your Mom's pool. He was such a sweet boy, and I understand a wonderful young man. I am so sorry - there are no words. I am praying for you and your family. I know he and Weldon are together.

Jared accomplished more in 24 years than I have in my 40 and probably my whole life. He was and awesome soul and I am proud to have known him for the little time I did. God Bless and Fly well.

Words cannot express the great sorrow we all feel for your loss. Jared was such a special person to everyone who knew him. We loved Jared and always enjoyed being around him at our family reunions. Mark, Deana, Jacob and Jason, may the Lord help you get through this terrible time. Please know our prayers and love are with you. Jared, you will always be in our hearts. Now do what you do best...keep flying.

We had the great pleasure of knowing Jared! He was such a sweet and kind person. Our deepest sympathy goes out to all his loved ones. May you find peace and comfort during this time.

Jared,

I'm glad to have met you and worked with you for the time I did. Rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this most difficult time.

Dear friends and family of Jared,
I am so sorry for your loss. It has been a pleasure to know Jared. He has assisted me before and after every flight I have made out of the Jack Brooks Regional Airport in the last two years. He had a smile and a can do attitude about everything that he did.
He flew with me as my copilot on occasion and it was a great joy to have him with me on those trips.
I will miss him and think of him often.
God Bless your family,
Don Pickett

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God bless you with the peace that passes all understanding.

I knew Jared only briefly as a client of KUSA Aviation. Such a fine young man, my heart goes out to the family.

Dear Deana and family,

I can't even imagine the magnitude of your loss. From what I see it is evident that Jared was such a wonderful person and one's whose life you are lucky to be part of. I feel so unlucky not knowing him.

Please know that even tho I am oceans apart, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, dear sister of my heart. May God give you the strength to bear this loss, coz I know overcome you never will.

Love and hugs Deana to you and your family

Mark and Deana - How fortunate my family was to meet Jared at William and Audra's wedding. I enjoyed getting a moment to speak with him and to watch him interact with his cousins. I was devasted to hear the news from Ann and Edwin. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the Rogers.

We will truely miss you , and the times spent in the shop and the calls you made asking how to do your endless projects. All people leave behind are memories good and bad , son you have left us with nothing but good . Thanks for being a friend and thoughtful young man . We love and miss you ,and pray for families loss. Fly with the Angels.

Deana,

My heart breaks for you and my prayers are to give you strength. Your Jared sounds like an Angel, who walked among us and now brings Joy to those around him in Heaven. He is described as a wonderful young man with a big heart, a sweet presence, and an amazing zest for life -- sort of like the Deana that I remember all those years ago.

Sending you a hug and much love - hold on tight sweet girl - I am praying for you and your family,

Vonda Fowler McGuire

To Mark, Deana and Family: May you find comfort with all the prayers and thoughts today, days, months, and years to follow. Know that Jared is in a safe place free to continue his dream of flying. Be strong and know that time will help heal the hurt and shock. I too lost my only Son at 24 years of age in 2007. A day does not go by that I don't think about him.
But that is ok because you must always think of Jared and know that he is near in spirit. God Bless you!

Jared was a very bright young man with a clear passion for aviation. I always enjoyed talking airplanes with him when we would come in the middle of the night. I am deeply saddened by his passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

To Deana and the Rogers family,
My deepest and most heart felt condolences to you all on the loss of Jared. Although I only know your Mum from the years we have chatted on the net, I shed tears when I heard of your passing and I also hugged each of own children. My love and prayers to you all in this time..always in my thoughts xxx

Jared,
Thank you so much for all the help you've given me the past several years.I'll really miss seeing you around the airport, you always had a smile on your face and never met a stranger.

Rest in piece friend. Ron Jackson

Jared,
You were always such a positive person, Anytime i saw you, it was with a smile on your face. I felt like i had known you for years even when we had just met. You will be truly missed, when i saw the story online, i texted your phone i thought it could not possible be you, just someone with the same name. I know you are dancing with the angels. Ashley

To the Rogers Family,

When I met Jared I thought to myself there is no way that a man of his age has accomplished as much as he had. When I got to know Jared, I realized that he had, in fact, accomplished as much as he had.

Jared never wasted a minute. He truly lived. I've never met a man quite like Jared and probably never will again. He is one of a kind and I'm proud to be able to call him my friend. He gave me advice, he challenged me to be a better person. He never let things rattle him and was always on top of his game. He was always the first to lend a hand and your problem was his problem until it was resolved.

Please accept my family's condolences during this tragic time. We grieve with you.

And Jared, rest easy brother. Don't forget to close out your flight plan. Hover practice starts now.

Until we meet again,

Rob Baker and family.

Hey buddy. Thank you so much for all the good times and memories. You will truely be missed, man. Love you, brother. My prayers are going out to the friends and family.

i only new you for a short peroid but what i new was that you was a very giving and caring person.. you will always be missed.. Forever Young

So sorry to hear the news. I will always remember you so full of life, playing those flying games at work!! You will be missed!!

God Bless you and keep you this trying times

Deana, Mark and Family,

There are no words I can offer up to ease your grief, if there were I would move mountains to find them. I just want you to know you are all in my heart and prayers. May God bring you some comfort and may you know some peace. I'm so truly truly sorry for this great loss.

Isn't it amazing when we have angels walking among us...from all the post i have read i know he was one.. one of Gods angels that was sent to bless so many lives .....
I hold the Rogers family in my prayers , just lean on God thru this trying time...

I am so sorry for your loss. Jared was a very special young man and will be greatly missed.

I pray strength for this family Jared we love you at Altus.
I always enjoyed your smile and you always had something positve and inspiring to say to me when you saw me. I will miss you very much. Mary

I have known Jared for almost 2 years, but we became really good friends in that time. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends. Jared is a great man! He will be missed by many and will continue to fly as he always loved to do! We love and miss you always Jared!

To the Roger Family,
Our deepest condolences and prayers to the Roger Family. We love Jared very much and he will never be forgotten. In this time of grief, it is comforting to know that even GOD needs a pilot. Keep flying high Jared. We love you.

I have no words to express the shock and sadness I am feeling today. I feel like I have lost yet another son of my heart. Not ever having met someone personally doesn't mean you can't love them, or grieve for them.
Deana and Mark...I don't know what to say. Please know I am holding you up in prayer. You are in my thoughts, and in my heart. I ask that God give you comfort and peace. I am so very, very sorry.

Lord our God, You are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Jared was suddenly taken from his family. Come swiftly to his aid, have mercy on him, and comfort his family and friends by the power and protection of the cross. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

I never met you, but coming from the wonderful family you were a member of, I know I would have loved you as much as I do them. God has you in His loving arms and will reward you for all you have done here.

Deana...I love you and your family and extend my most heartfelt prayers for you during this time. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Praying for strength in the Faith of God Our Father and comfort for you and yours.

Jarrad you will be greatly missed. Your compassion for life and your fellow man will bring us joy for knowing you. always smiling, always willing to help someone else, such a joy to be around. god bless you Jarrad, RIP.god bless the rogers family Our prayers and frienship are with you all

To the Rogers Family,

Rosemary and I have been truely shocked and rocked to our core by the news. Our thoughts and deepest prayers are with you and Jared at this most difficult time. It goes without saying that we cannot imagine....

We remember Jared as a wonderful young man who was always pleasant, good to be around, with a ready smile and can do attitude. He was a great friend to our children in those formative years in Victoria, one of those kids you want your kids to have as a friend, be around, spend time with. It was a pure pleasure to watch them all become such wonderful young adults. We knew Jared more deeply through our children, often hearing stories of him flying and just what a great person he was. There is no doubt his absense will leave a void in all of us.

Again, many many prayers....

Chris and Rosemary

The Alexander and Stark families would like to express our deepest sympathy for the loss of Jared. I know he must have been an amazing person and had a zest for life like his mom always did. You will be missed.
All our love to your family. May God give you strength and comfort.

I am sad you are gone but I am blessed to have known you. Even though I didn't know you well.... you touched my life with your fun loving nature. You will truly be missed and cherished by all. You and your family&friends will be in my prayers. God bless you.

Jared, I was just made aware of your passing by another flying buddy and instructor, Tim Hoffman. You were one of many folks at KUSA that inspired my return to aviation in such a positive light. You young folk made flying and learning the rules of aviation so much easier. I'll remember the trips to Brenham, TX and so many other late evening/night flights into Houston & Galveston area. From all I've been reading, hundreds of other folks are affected similarly. I returned to Alaska with my wife and children more than a year ago, but KUSA was Home away from Home while assigned to Coast Guard MSU Port Arthur, TX. You helped me achieve lifelong dream of becoming a Private Pilot. God Speed my young friend and mentor. ~ Chief ~ David B. Hydock.

I never met you but through your Mom I know you were an amazing young man and your Mom is so very proud of you. There are no words that can make the sadness and pain better for your family. Prayers and Faith in God and knowing they have a wonderful, amazing angle watching over them until you all meet again in Heaven will get them through this trying time. Praying for all your Family and Friends.

Jared,

You have touched many hearts in your life brought many people laughter and love. One of the sweetest,most Kind,Fun Loving,Best people I know.Thanks for always makin me laugh. ^.^ I Love you very much. I'll see you again one day.I'll miss you more than words can say...You get to Fly with Angels now. All my ♥ to you Lil brother.

Even though we never met Jared, I know you had to a great young man full love and fun just like your mom. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I truly missed out on getting to meet you.

Jared,

The time that we had together while short was some of the most life changing. You are such a caring and amazing man. Your spirit for living life to the fullest is truly remarkable. I know that you are flying high above the clouds where you always loved to be. I'm so sorry for you and your family at this time. You all are in my prayers.

~Stephanie

You are flying higher than the clouds, doing what you loved so much. I know you have got papa in the seat next to you. You will be missed by so many. Loved by so many. Love you more than you will ever know Cuz. Watch over us from the sky above.

You will be missed by us all.

You were one of my greatest joys in life. You loved everyone and everything. You were never afraid. You strived to always enjoy life while making a living. Not many do that.We are very proud of you and not sure how we will make each day without you. I can only pray that you are in a good place, not going to say a better place because you lived life to the fullest here.
And if you are in that good place Papa and Oma are there too!
And if you are in that good place - help us all to deal with not having you in our lives! I Will Love You Forever!

To a giving person, who always had a smile on his face,
Jared would give anything he had if another person needed it. Our lives crossed paths many times throughout the years and his smile and giving attitude never changed. My prayers are with your family. I hope to honor your memory with a smile and giving attitude of my own.

You are going to be greatly missed. You were a wonderful
person, a beautiful soul. You were a sweet and amazing friend.
I love you. Peace and comfort to your family. See you later

My prayers are with you my friend. I am truly thankful for the friendship we had. Thanks for the laughs, advice, help and understanding. I will think of you every time I'm in the air. Rest in Peace buddy.

Jared,
It truly was a privilege to know you, spend the time we had together. You were a true gentleman and the bond, friendship we shared no one will ever take that way. You are an amazing person..so sweet and genuine. Ill miss more than ever.

You were one of my greatest friends. I can't believe you're gone but will always remember the times we had together. I will always regret not skydiving with you knowing you now have wings of your own. Thank you for all that you've done for me and the experiences we've had together. You will NEVER be forgotten in all the lives you've touched. I'm glad that I got to spend time with you in your very last moments but even more thrilled to of even known you and call you my wing-man, my brother from another mother, but most importantly my friend. Don’t be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before we can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends. I love you man, and I'll miss you!

Jared,
You were such an absolutely amazing man. You completely swept me off my feet and showed me an amazing time in the few short months I knew you. The memories we shared will stay with me through my lifetime. You adored me and I absolutely adored you. I know you are in a place I'm sure yre in even more awe of than I was of that sunset. You're high above the clouds in such an amazingly peaceful place and I wish I could be up there like you took me to sooth my soul during hard times. Thank you for all the wonderful memories I will never forget to cherish. I love you Jared Rogers.

Kristin Norris aka "Your Texas"

Your in my prayers...Rest in Peace my friend

Love you, bud... I will always cherish the times we spent flying the skies together. Next time I am up among the clouds you'll be in my thoughts. May God bless you and keep you and your family in his good fortune. Miss you.
