Darryl D. Rogers, aged 84, passed away peacefully of natural causes on July 11 at his home in Friant, California. He was born May 28, 1934 to Alys Wyman Rogers and Bud Arthur Rogers in Los Angeles, California. Darryl was a graduate of Jordan High School in Long Beach, and earned his B.A. and Masters from Fresno State College in Physical Education while he was a student athlete football player.
