Dearest Friends in Christ!

You may have already received the news that our faithful and loving servant Fred Switzer has transitioned from this world to his heavenly home yesterday afternoon, Thursday, October 29, 2020.  

Fred joined First United Methodist – Taylor in 1975. He was not only active in the church, but held multiple roles and served in all of our church committees for many years, including Lay Leader and Lay Servant Speaker. He was truly a servant of Christ. 

Let us give thanks to God for Fred’s life and the time we were privileged to know and serve alongside him. We are grateful and blessed to have known Fred and his faithfulness to his family, friends, community, and the church. 

Please keep Fred’s family and many friends in your prayers.

ROY’S OBITUARY

U.S. Veteran  

Roy Cleo Rogers, age 83, of Taylor, Texas, passed away July 17, 2020. He was born in Poteet, Texas on October 7, 1936 to the late Louis Cleo and Bessie Mangum Rogers. Roy was raised in Poteet, Texas and graduated high school in 1955. He spent his younger years farming and working cattle in Atascosa, LaSalle and McMullen counties with his father, uncles and grandfather. He then went to college at Southwest Texas State, which is where he met the love of his life, Patricia (Busby) Rogers. He graduated college in 1959 and married Pat on November 14, 1959. He then joined the Army Reserve and began working for the Soil Conservation Service. His job led him to spend time in Kennedy, Bartlett and Victoria, Texas. In 1975, Roy and family moved to Taylor, Texas where he became the Exxon Consignee. In 1980 he formed R. Rogers Oil, Inc. which became a well respected family establishment throughout the community. With the help of his family, together they ran the Exxon wholesale and retail for Williamson and surrounding counties. After 20 years of hard-work and dedication, Roy and Pat decided to retire and sell the business. He was dedicated to and served in multiple capacities in the Taylor Rotary Club during his 40+ years of service. Roy was a kind, trustworthy and honest man that never had a crossword with anyone. While he was a man of few words, when he did speak, he spoke words of wisdom and encouragement, while always sneaking in a hint of humor. Roy was a loving husband, brother, uncle, grandfather and great-grandfather. He had a love for the outdoors and spent many of his days hunting and fishing with his sons and friends. Along with the love of his family, he loved to dance the night away with Pat and his other “sweethearts” to classic country music. He never missed the opportunity to eat dessert after each meal, was always drawing the lucky hand when it came to cards and dominoes and never missed the opportunity to root on his grandchildren at all events. 

He is preceded in death by his parents, Cleo and Bessie Rogers, sister Maureen Burris, wife Patricia Rogers, daughter Royanne Rogers Rollins, and niece Donna Land.

Roy is survived by his sister, Sudie and Corky Halpin from Pleasanton, Texas, his brother Mark Rogers from Poteet, Texas, his sister-in-law Peggy Busby and DeeDee Lubow from Lakeway, Texas; children, Brett and Wendi Rogers from Holland, Texas, Trey and Kate Rogers from San Antonio, Texas, Trisha and Bobby Copeland from Taylor, Texas; grandchildren, Kaci and Jerod Rosipal, Kodi Copeland, Kayla Rogers, Jackson and Carson Rogers; great-granddaughter, Ramsie Rosipal and numerous nieces and nephews. 

Visitation will be held at Providence Funeral Home at 807 Carlos G Parker Blvd in Taylor, Texas on Tuesday July 21 from 5-7pm. The funeral will be held at Providence Funeral home on July 22 at 10am. Following the graveside services a luncheon will be hosted at the Fireman Hall located at 701 Carlos G. Parker Blvd. NW, Taylor, Texas.  Those wishing to make a memorial gift in lieu of flowers may do so by donating to First United Methodist Church of Taylor, Texas and Taylor Rotary Club. 

The family wishes to express sincere gratitude to the caregivers and therapists of Park Place Nursing Home and S.P.J.S.T Nursing Home.
