Christopher "Chris" A. Rogers-On November 15, 2020 at 5:00 a.m., the sunset for Christopher Allen Rogers a.k.a. Chris.

He was the 6th child out of 7 born on August 4, 1964 in Brooklyn, New York to Betty Jo Rogers. Due to the death of their mother Chris and his 6 siblings relocated to
Youngstown, Ohio to live with and be cared for by their Uncle, Charles Rogers. 

He attended the Youngstown Public School System, he later earned a Dental Hygienist Associates Degree. Chris was quite the comedian who loved fishing and who had a  genuine love for dogs. He was an extremely gifted and talented
individual who could cleverly redesign any object to serve as another purpose. Additionally, he was a self-made Electrical Engineer because he had the ability to disassemble and reassemble any electronic device and restore it to its full capacity
with added features. He also drew and colored characters so true to form that it could almost be mistaken as a photocopy. He was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan and he loved to dance and listen to his favorite musician of all times Roger Troutman. 

   He leaves to cherish his memories Christopher Allen Rogers II, and Kendra Wilson, both of Columbus and his long time special friend, Teresa McDowell of Columbus. He also leaves behind 5 sisters: Aundria Rogers, Connie Rogers both of Youngstown, Yvette Rogers of Columbus, Victoria Rogers Callis of Baltimore, MD and Blanche Jackson (David) of Baltimore, MD. He left behind also  his dear brother Henry "Tony" Rogers (Sophie) of Brooklyn, NY and 2 grandsons of Youngstown. Chris' absence will also be felt by a host of nieces and nephews some of whom he shared memorable moments with and special bonds.

   He also leaves behind Edward Bunkley who was like a brother to him, and long time friends Dewayne Preston and Elliot Johnson who will also miss him along with many others.

He was preceded in death by his mother and son, DeAndre Edward.
