Kirk Allen Rogers of Crawfordsville entered into the presence of the Lord on Saturday morning, Jan. 15, 2022. He was 69.

Kirk was a Christian, an animal lover, a jokester and a man with a big heart who loved his family immensely. He enjoyed doing things outdoors, playing golf, fishing, hunting and was very adventurous. He would ski and helped out as a lifeguard. His love of family went above and beyond all else.

Kirk served in the U.S. Army. He worked several places, including Ingress Plastene, county highway, Custom Farms in Waynetown, 23 years at Raybestos, and was a member of the Hod Carriers Union. He was a 1970 graduate of Crawfordsville High School.

Born April 28, 1952, at Crawfordsville, he was the son of Kenneth Rogers and Margaret Cedars Rogers McKinsey. He was also close with his step-father, Albert “Mac” McKinsey. He was married to Teresa Sheets on Sept. 8, 1972, at the Yountsville Christian Church, by the Rev. Paul Ingram.

Surviving family includes: wife Teresa Rogers; son Brad Allen Rogers (Mandy); daughter Detra Lynn Endicott (Todd); grandchildren, Alexis Taylor Rogers (Dennie), Peyton Kalyn Nevitt (Dalton), Jaylen Kirk Allen Rogers (Lexi) and Lindsey Meyer; great-grandsons, Arlie Jacob Nevitt and Calvin Moschinger, with one more due in June; and his beloved dog, Littles.

He was preceded in death by his parents and brother-in-law Ricky Lee Sheets.

In keeping with his wishes, there will not be a public visitation or funeral. His family is holding a private gathering and a public celebration of Kirk’s life will be held later. Details will be announced as they are available. Cremation arrangements were made through Burkhart Funeral Home.

Donations in memory of Kirk Rogers can be made to the Animal Welfare League of Montgomery County, 1104 Big Four Arch Road, Crawfordsville, IN 47933 or the St. Jude Children’s Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
