Hunter Blake Rogers, age 28, entered his heavenly home on Sunday, September 15, 2024.
Born on December 31, 1995, in Jackson, TN, he was a kind and gentle soul who truly embodied the spirit of generosity, consistently willing to lend a helping hand to others.
Hunter is remembered for the gift of bringing a smile to everyone he met. Anyone could always count on receiving a good laugh from his quick wit and humor. He always gave a big “bear” hug upon greeting people he knew, and a firm handshake to those he just met.
Hunter had a career as a truck driver for Dot Foods in Dyersburg, TN. His work was matched only by passion for the great outdoors. He loved engaging in all outdoor activities, particularly hunting, fishing, riding motorcycles and 4-wheelers, which brought him immense joy and a sense of freedom. Hunter was a member of Poplar Heights Baptist Church, Jackson.
Hunter is survived by his mother, Beverly Murley and her husband Phillip Sr.; his father, Harold W. Rogers, Jr. and his wife Susan; his beloved twin sons, Hayden and Mason Rogers; and a host of cherished family members, including his maternal grandparents, Don and Betty Layman; his great grandmother, Laverne Rogers; his great grandmother, Esther Murley; his uncle, Malcolm Rogers; his uncle, Jeff Layman; his step-sister, Elizabeth Waites; and his step-brother, Phillip “PJ” Murley, Jr.
