Alexander Rogers, a beloved member of the Lumberton community and cherished friend to many, passed away on Tuesday, February 21, 2023, at the age of 36. He was born in Lumberton, North Carolina on September 7, 1986 and grew up there with his sister Melissa Watson Swire.

Alex attended Lumberton High School, where he developed lifelong friendships and set a school record in pitching that still stands today. He went on to sign with Surry Community College for baseball, where he continued to excel in the sport he loved. Outside of baseball, Alex had a deep passion for the outdoors, especially waterfowl hunting. He cherished spending time with his family and friends, and his laughter was infectious.

Affectionately known as "Shugg," Alex had a heart of gold and was always willing to lend a hand to those in need. His kindness and generosity touched countless lives, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Flora Jean Evans.

Alex is survived by his wife, Tiffany Rogers; his stepchildren, Rylee White and Adelynn Patterson; his father and mother, Rodney & Linda Rogers; his sister, Melissa Watson Swire (husband Jeff Swire); and his niece, Kaitlyn Beaver. He also leaves behind brothers in heart: Hunter Guyton, Zach Lowery, and Matt Roberts, as well as beloved family members and dear friends.

Family and friends are invited to attend a celebration of Alex's life, which will be held on Saturday, February 25, 2023, at Floyd Memorial Chapel, 809 E. 5th Street in Lumberton, NC, with a time of visitation from 2:00-4:00 PM followed by a memorial service at 4:00 PM with Rev. George Connor officiating. Entombment will follow at Gardens of Faith Mausoleum, 5190 N. Fayetteville Road in Lumberton, NC.
