RODGERS, Dwain Jackson (Jack)

The Arizona Republic, Phoenix, Arizona February 26, 2003 Dwain Jackson Rodgers (Jack), born March 17, 1930, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his loving family on Friday, February 21, 2003 in Prescott, AZ. Jack served in the Coast Guard from 1948 to 1951 during the Korean War. He worked as a Construction Foreman/Electrician until his retirement and he was a member of the IBEW his entire career. Jack lived in California until 1987 when he and his wife moved to Payson, AZ. They moved to Prescott in 1990. Jack spent his life building things, enjoying nature, searching for gold and sharing his wonderful sense of humor with those around him. He loved hiking, fishing, camping, bowling, canoeing, and the outdoors. He is survived by Ginny, the wife he loved and his loving children Deborah Greco (Louis), Pamela Madill, Angela Culp, Jamie Griffin (Tracy), Jackson Rodgers (Azelea), and Jessica Kelley. He is preceded in death by his parents, Dwain and Caroline Rodgers and his grandson Michael Miller. He is survived by his brother Richard Rodgers (Joyce) and his sister Mary Ann Pinhorn (John). He is survived by grandchildren Virginia, Lisa, Rebecca, Amanda, Sari, Matthew, Katherine, Sarah, Justin, Patrick, James, Christina, Jennifer, and Carter and great-grandchildren Samantha, Brighton, Javis, Christopher, Morgan, Zachary, Isaac, Ricky, Caleb, Mason, and Jacob. He was also an animal lover and will be missed by his three dogs, Rusty, Smoki and Jake. He was a gentle and generous man, leaving us all with many wonderful memories. Words cannot express how very much his children loved him, and how devoted to him his wife was. We are blessed to have had him in our lives, grateful for all he taught us both physical and emotional, and richer for his unquestioning faith and belief in each of us.
