He loved Jesus, people, animals, and baseball. In 2006, Steve married his wife, Jocelyn D. Rogers, and the two of them were inseparable ever since. Together they owned and operated a real estate brokerage firm throughout Central Florida. In recent years they moved to the beach on the East Coast of Florida. Steve passed away on March 6, 2020, at Holmes Regional Hospital after an illness. Steve is survived by his wife Jocelyn Rogers, son Stephen P. Rogers of Grants Pass, Oregon daughter Stephanie G. Chindamo and her husband Brady of N. Bend, Oregon and son Richard Thomas Jefferson Rogers of Apopka, FL., sister Dorcas Burnett and brother Jerry Rogers, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews and many, many friends. He will be forever in our hearts.
