Ronald "Ronnie" Lee Rogers, Jr.

Ronald "Ronnie" Lee Rogers, Jr., a man whose heart was as vast as the music that filled his soul, passed away peacefully on June 9, 2026, in Louisville, Kentucky. Born on July 29, 1958, Ronnie’s life was a testament to kindness, hard work, and boundless love, leaving behind a legacy cherished by all who knew him.

Ronnie's journey began in the banking industry, where he first made his mark, but it was in the trade of plumbing where he found his true calling. For over twenty years, he dedicated himself to his craft, culminating in a well-earned retirement from Dauenhauer Plumbing. He poured the same care and precision into his work as he did into his family and friendships, always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was well known for his willingness to assist anyone and everyone, a gesture of goodwill that defined his very being.

Music was Ronnie’s sanctuary, his happy place that uplifted his spirit through every season of life. His eclectic taste in music reflected his open-hearted nature, and his love for animals, especially dogs, was another expression of his gentle and nurturing soul. One of his proudest accomplishments, a beautiful front porch that he built with his own hands, stands as a symbol of the quiet moments he cherished most—shared peacefully with his beloved wife, Susan. It was here, on that porch, that countless memories were woven, a silent witness to decades of love and companionship.

Ronnie leaves behind a loving family who were the center of his world. His wife Susan Rogers, to whom he was married for thirty years, continues to hold the memories they created together close to her heart. Their sons, Brandon Fisher (Elizabeth) and Derek Fisher, along with his grandchildren—Lucy, Sofie, Lincoln, and Parker—carry forward his spirit and the values he instilled in them. Family ties remain strong through his siblings: David Rogers, Susan Linton (Tommy), and Becky Rice (Jeff), step-father Robert Jacobs, step-sister, Amie Rogers, who remember Ronnie as a brother who brought warmth and steadfast support to their lives.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Lois Rogers, and his father, Ronald Rogers, Sr., step-brother, Daniel Rogers whose legacies live on in the family he helped nurture. Though Ronnie is no longer with us, his generosity, warmth, and unwavering kindness will forever resonate in the hearts of those he touched.

As we remember Ronnie Lee Rogers, Jr., we celebrate a life defined not just by the milestones reached, but by the love and compassion he freely gave. A man who found joy in simple things, who built more than just a porch, but a home filled with lasting love. His memory will continue to be a comforting melody in the hearts of all who knew him.
