Later in life he followed his true passion for farming on his own farm. He loved farming, gardening, hunting, and fishing. He was also passionate about spending time with his family and friends. Sharing meals and sitting around telling stories and memories. Taking fishing trips, tinkering, and helping everyone he could. He had a close circle of family and friends of those who truly knew him and loved him and were with him always. He had a strong love for his Lord and knew him well.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 43 years, Patricia Burleyson Rodgers of the home, and his beloved dogs, “Levi” and “Little Bit”.
