In memory of David Lynn Rogers, born January 2, 1938, Los Angeles, California, and died February 15, 2018 in Washington, Utah, of pancreatic cancer. 

David was a faculty member at the University of Colorado, Iowa State University, Colorado State University and Utah State University.

While at Utah State University he was appointed Associate Dean for Extension in the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. 

He and his wife moved to Washington, Utah in 2004. Here he enjoyed making special, lifelong friendships, being a part of the SUP (Sons of Utah Pioneers), singing with the Southern Utah Heritage Choir, and taking up the sport of golf.

David loved the Lord, always eager to serve wherever and whenever he was asked. In 1958-1960, he served a mission in the Northern California Mission. In 2011-2012 he and his wife, Tamara, served in the Japan Fukuoka Mission. Whatever calling he had, he served with dedication, enthusiasm and love for the people he served.
