David J. Rogers, age 84, of Sheboygan passed away peacefully on April 5, 2022, at his home
surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Sterling, IL on April 4, 1938, to the late Paul
and Nellie (Higby) Rogers. He earned a bachelors degree in political science from St. Ambrose
University in Davenport, IA and a masters degree in business from Loyola University in Chicago.
David served in the United States Army from 1961 until 1967.
On February 2, 1963, he married Carolyn Baier at St. James Catholic Church in Arlington
Heights, IL where he was an active member in the parish council and Knights of Columbus for
almost 40 years. Dave spent most of his career in the “HR Arena”, as he would say, retiring in
1999.
After relocating to Sheboygan, David became a member of Holy Name Catholic Church and
served on the St. Vincent de Paul board of directors for their thrift store.
David enjoyed reading and watching all sports, particularly football. He also liked a casual
round of golf.
David was an active listener with a keen sense of humor. He thoroughly enjoyed socializing
with family and friends. He was wonderful, kind and fun to be around and whoever he met was
a better person for it.
David is survived by his loving wife of almost 60 years Carolyn; children, Joe (Meg) Rogers,
Marty (Cari) Rogers, Liz Meyer, Helen (Ron) Cooke, and Don (Ket) Duffy; a son-in-law Tom
Clarke; grandchildren, Matt, Pat, Ellie, Maddie, Emma, Jack, Samantha, Kevin, Nick, Cate, Will
and John; sisters-in-law Mary Rogers, Nancy (Jim) Krieger and Midge (Pierce) Sheehan; nieces,
nephews, other family and friends.
Along with his parents, David was preceded in death by a daughter Anne Clarke; a
granddaughter Grace Meyer; a brother Paul Rogers; and a sister-in-law Pat (John) Eiserman.
A Mass of Christian Burial for David will be held at 1:15 PM on Tuesday, April 12, 2022, at Holy
Name Catholic Church, 807 Superior Ave. in Sheboygan with Father Mark Brandl officiating.
Family will greet visitors at church on Tuesday from 11:00 AM until the time of mass. David will
