He was born in Vaughns Mill, Kentucky, on February 21, 1946, to the late George Otis Rogers and the late Hildreth Spencer Rogers. Carlos was deeply devoted to his family. He leaves behind a legacy as a husband of 53 years to his wife, Linda “Cookie” Rogers, as well as a father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and caring neighbor. Carlos dedicated his days to maintaining the city of Stanton’s water works while finding solace in his leisure activities. He was an avid fisherman, enjoyed coon hunting, and spent countless hours honing the skills of his hunting dogs.
