Jimmie Arthur Rogers

     Jimmie Arthur Rogers passed peacefully on January 12, 2022 at the age of 84.  Jimmie retired from Alcoa as a machinist, but never really stopped working.  Even after retirement, he still continued his life long work as a rancher. He grew up in El Toro, TX where he was born on November 18, 1937 and it was always his favorite place to be. He loved driving through the pasture in his Chevrolet truck and looking at his cows checking on everything. He never lost his eye for spotting a problem or catching a glimpse of a deer in the distance. He was a good man and lived a good life and will be missed deeply by his family.

    He was survived by his son and daughter-in-law John and Carol Rogers of Edna and his daughter and son-in-law Diane and Mark Lesko of Austin. His grandchildren Christy Seicko, Kyle Rogers, Shannon Graessle, Robert Lesko and Mallory Lesko and his great grandchildren Sarah Novak, Shawn Gaubatz, Zach Yendrey and Bowen Graessle and his sister Mary Ann Latimer.

    He was preceded in death by his loving wife Judy Waisath Rogers and his son Derrick Rogers and later in life by his long time best friend Marie Buchanan. Also, by his brother Lester Rogers and sister Nellie Mae Yendrey and his mother and father Mabel and Vernie Rogers.     Services will be held at the Memory Gardens Cemetery of Edna at the Arbor on Saturday January 15, 2022 at 10 a.m. Services have been entrusted to Russell Todish of Slavik Funeral Home, 361-782-2152.
