Columbia

Billy Rogers, age 89, passed away peacefully at his home in Columbia, Tennessee, on July 3, 2025. He was born on January 9, 1936, in Columbia to the late Elvin Horace Rogers, Sr. and Rachel Scoggin Rogers.

Billy proudly served in the United States Air Force before returning home to build a successful business. He owned and operated Rogers Plumbing and Electric for many years and was known for his strong work ethic and dedication to helping others. Outside of work, Billy enjoyed singing karaoke and spending time with his family—especially his grandchildren, who brought him great joy.
