Carl Ronald Rogers

Carl Ronald Rogers, 67, of Bartlesville, died Thursday in Bartlesville. Carl, or Blue as he was known, was born into a large family of 10 children, the son of Clarence Ned and Flossie (Millage) Rogers on May 31, 1951, in Bartlesville. He was raised in Bartlesville, attending local schools and finishing his formal education at Bartlesville College High School. Family was Blue’s passion: he realized from a young age - growing up with nine siblings and 10 cousins from his mother’s sister’s family, the Washingtons - the importance of close family ties. Blue could best be described as a rolling stone. His appetite and willingness for adventure led him to journey westward to California and eventually to Colorado before returning to his home in Bartlesville in 2010. Blue was a businessman who always found a way to make a living working for himself. His favorite car was a Mercedes-Benz which he always took care of with pride. He was a caring and faithful friend who did everything in his power to help those around him. Blue is survived by four children, Clemont Rowe-Rogers of Tulsa, Nylah Bass and Micheal of Denver, Carl “Ronnie” Rogers of Denver, and Keya Rogers of Bartlesville; three brothers Billy Rogers and Verna of Bartlesville, Michael Rogers of Oklahoma City, and Albert Rogers and Barbara Jean of Atlanta; two sisters Sandra Harris and Melvin, and Rose Gains, all of Atlanta; a host of grandchildren; and lifelong special friend Elvie Finks and her daughter Meoshe Finks. He is preceded in death by his parents, two sons Carl Rogers Jr. and Kenyatta Rogers, three brothers Ed, Don and David, and one sister Barbara Jean Bailey-Rogers. Visitation will be held on Monday from 11-8, and Tuesday 9-11 at the Davis Family Funeral Home – Walker Brown Chapel. Funeral services will be held 2 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 23, at the Miracle Temple Church of God in Christ, with Rev. Ray Dixon officiating. Interment will follow in the White Rose Cemetery. Services are under the direction of Carter Davis and the Davis Family Funeral Home – Walker Brown Chapel. Online condolences and remembrances may be shared at www.DavisFamilyFuneralHome.com.
