Death Notice for Patrick Rogers

We regret to report the death of Patrick Rogers, who passed away on Monday 17th November 2025, aged 67 years.

Patrick John Rogers was born on the 12th August 1958 to Rudolph and Marjorie Rogers - their sixth child. He married Denise Rogers on the 5th December 1985, and had two children Donna and Philip.

Our sincere condolences go to his wife Denise, his sister Doreen Swain (and brother-in-law David Swain), brothers Ronald and Roy Rogers, daughter Donna Green (and grandchildren Calvin & Hannah Green), and son Philip (and grandchildren Holly Rogers, Alfie Rogers & Jayden Swain), and to his wider family.

We expect to publish a full obituary in due course.
