HONORING HANK ROGERS
______
HON. STEVEN M. PALAZZO
of mississippi
in the house of representatives
Monday, April 19, 2021
Mr. PALAZZO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of Mr. Hank Rogers who passed away on January 4, 2021. My deepest condolences and most sincere prayers are with his wife of 49 years, Nancy, as well as his family and friends.
Mr. Rogers grew up in D'Iberville, and proudly lived and raised his family in South Mississippi. He is a 1970 graduate of D'Iberville High School and obtained his associates degree in Drafting from MGCCC.
Hank was a principled man devoted to his faith, his country, and his family. Many describe him as a funny, quick witted, intelligent, strong willed, ``Southern Gentleman'' who was committed to his beliefs, maintained a strong work ethic and served as a mentor to many in the community.
Hank was a volunteer leader having served as the President of the D'Iberville Historical Society, for two years, ``heading up'' many projects geared toward revitalizing his hometown. He was a member of the Mississippi Civil Air Patrol, serving as Wing Commander from 2016 until his death, advancing up to the rank of Colonel. We honor Mr. Rogers for the service he showed to his country and to his community.
Although we are sad to hear of his passing, we take comfort in his example of a life well lived and the legacy he leaves behind. On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Mississippi, we honor the memory of Mr. Hank Rogers, a loving husband, a dedicated civil servant and a man of God.
