Bulawayo Morning Mirror Extra - 26th May 2018 Death Notice It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Dudley, husband to Tess, father to Clinton & Nadine, Nikki, Donna & Clive, Gaga (Grandpa) to Shannon, Michelle, Reagan and Jordan, friend and hero to many. Dudley Herbert Rogers was born in Bulawayo 29 December 1948. He was home schooled, attended Reps primary, and then Plumtree high school (and always stood by Grey house!). After leaving school Dudley farmed with his father in West Nicholson and also worked for Lemco on the Liebigs ranches. While there he had an encounter with some Elephant while driving home on a tractor, slightly inebriated, one night. He only figured out the true gravity of the story the next morning, realizing that the screaming that he'd heard had actually not been a problem with the tractor, as he'd thought at the time! Dudley went on to Gwebi agricultural college, after which he moved back to work in farming, doing irrigation and raising cattle with Rogers Brothers and Son in West Nicholson. He was also an accomplished golfer and marksman. During that time Dudley was active in the West Nicholson Farmers' Association, serving as its chairman for many years. While still farming Dudley opened up a new enterprise, Tshabezi Safaris, which was a business developed from what he loved to do most--hunting, contributing to and caring for wildlife, and building relationships with his clients, employees, and many others, opening up for them the beauty and wonder of the Zimbabwean bush and God's Love. As so many people can testify, Dudley was a generous, fun loving friend and storyteller extraordinaire. But Dudley's greatest passion was his personal relationship with his Saviour, Jesus Christ our Lord. He took God with him everywhere he went, and left Him with many people who allowed him to share Christ with them. This man led an inspirational life full of adventure, and he has passed that legacy on, not only to his children, but also to his precious grandchildren. Fishing, hunting, wandering the globe, praising God for the wonderful life He had given him, both here and with Him for eternity. ++++ Funeral announcement The service to celebrate the life of Dudley Rogers 29th Dec 1948 - 23rd May 2018 Will be held on Monday 28th May 2018 at Revival Center Church in Bulawayo at 11am.
