( April 23, 1990 - August 12, 2016 )
Edward Shawne Rogers, Jr. was suddenly called home to be with the Lord on August 12, 2016.
He was born on April 23, 1990, at SRMC, Petersburg, Va. He was the oldest child of three children.
Edward was preceded in death by his paternal grandma, Sally Spruill; grandfather, James Green and paternal uncle, Kenan Rogers of Maryland.
Edward attended Hopewell High School and enjoyed auto mechanics, electronics and basketball.
He went on to attend Pathways and successfully earned various awards and certificates for completing a number of trades. He was always cheerful and happy and known for his impeccable taste in sneakers and baseball caps. He earned the name of SHOE KING and represented it very well.
Edward had a huge love of tattoos and showed his respect for close family members by getting their names or some type of symbol on his arm to show homage. But his greatest love of all was his daughter, Ayanna. He cherished her until the day he was called home. His spirit of love, calmness, gentleness, and respect will always be present as long as she is around.
