RONALD GLENN ROGERS

Ronald Glenn Rogers, 74, of the Jasper Community of Big Stone Gap, departed this life, peacefully, and entered into his permanent Heavenly home Thursday, July 28, 2022, at Holston Valley Hospital in Kingsport, Tn. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”-John 3:16. Ronald was born at home in the Jasper community of Lee County, Va. November 29, 1947. He was a lifelong resident of Lee County.

He was a proud former coal miner. While the mining Experience almost certainly contributed to heath issues resulting in his death, he delighted in recalling memories of events and friends during his tenure as a miner. His favorite topic was always related to mining.

Ronald enjoyed outdoor activities. He loved driving through our mountains especially during the Fall season with the colorful foliage prevalent in our area. His most beloved activity was fishing local lakes in his boat. Other hobbies included cooking, gardening, and talking about his love for hot spices.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Clyde Manson “C.M.” Rogers and Cletice (Swinney) Rogers.
He is survived by his sister, Shirley Joe Collins and brother-in-law, George Collins, Jr.

The family received friends on Saturday, July 30, at Gilliam Funeral Home, Big Stone Gap. The service followed at 7:00 pm with Pastor Russell Herron officiating.
