Rodney Gaines Rogers

Rodney Gaines Rogers, 57, of Hull, died on Wednesday, September 24, 2026.

Born in Athens, he was the only son of the late Hugh Gaines Rogers and Pat Fortson Maxey. Rodney was a man who found joy in the simple things—hunting in the great outdoors, fishing, spotting and identifying birds (a true “bird nerd”), and sharing a good laugh through one of his legendary pranks. He loved coaching softball and the friendships and memories that came with it. But above everything else, Rodney’s greatest love was his family. He adored his wife, cherished his children, and was especially devoted to his grandchildren, who lovingly called him Poppies and brought him immeasurable pride and happiness. Being their Poppies was one of his greatest joys, and he treasured every moment, every laugh, and every memory made with them.

Survivors include the love of his life for 40 years, Tracey Hubbard Rogers; children, Mallory Veillette (Justin), Noah Rogers (Parker) and Kendall Rogers (Austin Wynn); sister, Rene Wilson (Tod) and his grandchildren, Hudson, Emerson and Ellie Dean, Brooks, Blaire and Andrew Veillette, Rhett Larkins and Fortson Rogers.

Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, September 29, 2026 at 4:00 pm at Lord and Stephens, Danielsville with interment following in Colbert Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Noah Rogers, Austin Wynn, Justin Veillette, Doug Seagraves, Shane Baker, Corey Baker and Jason Hubbard. The family will receive friends prior to the service beginning at 2:00 pm.

Lord and Stephens, Danielsville is in charge of arrangements.
