Rudy was born in Hamilton, TX on November 29, 1962 to Victor and Theresa (Ledesma) Rogers. Rudy grew up with three brothers and one sister. Rudy was married to his beautiful and steadfast wife, Ester (Lujan) Rogers for 30 years. Rudy and Ester had four amazing children in addition to two children, collectively, who had previously gone to be with the Lord. His pride and joy were his eight grandchildren whom he loved beyond the ends of the Earth.
Rudy was a loving husband, father and grandfather who will be graciously missed and always with us in our hearts. Rudy was a man of many words, a man who gave his all to work hard every single day and a man who was a number one fan of the Dallas Cowboys. He always had a smile for you even on his toughest days. He was a man who knew no strangers and a man who loved well. If you needed a hand, he was the man to call on. If you only met him a time or two you would know the things he loved and treasured on this Earth – his family. He loved his family more than he could verbally express. His emotions of pride and delight in his children and grandchildren were undeniable. Rudy will always be remembered for the man he became and the restoration his soul found in Christ Jesus. He will never be forgotten as our Dad, Pops or RuRu. He will forever be in our hearts until the day we meet again in sanctity with Jesus. We will always love and cherish our time and memories with our beloved RuRu.
Rudy was preceded in death by his son, Randy Rogers; his brother, Victor Rogers, Jr.; and his father, Victor Rogers.
