H.R. No. 60
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, A life made rich through meaningful service drew to
a close with the passing of Mark Barry Rogers of Boerne on
October 14, 2023, at the age of 70; and
WHEREAS, The son of Stanley and Judith Rogers, "Buck" Rogers
was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on December 16, 1952, and grew up
with his siblings, Paul and Jane; he earned his bachelor's degree in
international affairs from the United States Air Force Academy in
1975; commissioned as a second lieutenant, he was a fighter pilot
from 1975 to 2001; he deployed in support of Operations Desert
Shield and Desert Storm, and while serving as commander of the 492nd
Fighter Squadron, he flew combat missions in support of Operation
Deny Flight; he became commander of the 35th Operations Group in
1996 and attained the rank of colonel before his retirement in 2001;
he then embarked on a second career with FedEx as a pilot and first
officer, flying until 2017; and
WHEREAS, Dedicated to his community, Mr. Rogers was a member
of the Kendall County Appraisal District Board and was honored as
chair emeritus; he volunteered in support of Boerne ISD schools,
and he was very involved in the Kendall County Republican Party,
serving in the roles of treasurer, chair, and election judge and
leading voter registration, outreach, and turnout campaigns; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Rogers shared a fulfilling relationship with
his wife, Suzie, and he was the proud father of two daughters, Megan
and Jennifer, and a son, Michael; through the years, the family grew
to include his son-in-law, Adam, his daughter-in-law, Jessica, and
his grandchildren, Emilee, Madeline, Wyatt, Paige, Luke, and Chase;
and
WHEREAS, An avid golfer, Mr. Rogers played the game around
the world and delighted in reconnecting with friends and
challenging himself on unfamiliar courses; in addition, he was a
voracious reader and an enthusiastic singer, although his military
precision did not always extend to the realm of pitch; he
appreciated fine wine, a good cigar, and a glass of scotch, and his
sense of humor and joie de vivre endeared him to innumerable people;
and
WHEREAS, While the death of Buck Rogers has brought great
sorrow to all who were privileged to share in the richness of his
life, they will continue to find inspiration in his devotion to his
family, his community, and his country; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory
of Mark Barry "Buck" Rogers and extend sincere condolences to his
loved ones; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Buck
Rogers.
