Bryan Rogers

ROGERS - BRYAN CLIFFORD

January 17, 1943 – June 10, 2020

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Bryan Rogers on June 10, 2020 in his 77th year.  He was a beloved husband to Andrea Koschade, loving Dad to Lisa Rogers (Rayna), Shelagh Rogers (Jason) and Kirsten Ashall, and playful and endearing Baba to Aidan and Kennedy Ashall, London Biddulph and Abigail Belanger. Bryan was close to his brother Lawrence Rogers, nephew Glen Rogers and his family, as well as brother-in-law and friend Ralph Koschade.  He was predeceased by his parents, Florence and Clifford Rogers, his Nan and Ba, and his sister-in-law Donna.

Bryan spent his early years in Winnipeg (Transcona), before moving to Oakville where he raised his girls with Iris. Then on to Ottawa where he and Andrea spent many, many years enjoying their beautiful German Shepherds and the Rideau River. Over the years, Bryan also did a great deal of travelling, camping, and spent many summer holidays at the family cottage at Grand Beach.  He had a playful sense of humour, and a sense of adventure that forged so many good memories with those of us lucky enough to be in his life.  His strength in family, and his love and laughter remains with us.

Bryan was a charming, cheerful, and optimistic person who enjoyed company and conversation.  He had the gift of making those around him feel special and important.  He will be missed by everyone who knew him.  Happy lives are rooted in great memories.
