Fresno, CA—The community is grieving the tragic passing of Jerrell Rogers Jr., who died last month at the age of 22. Known for his joyful spirit, Jerrell was a devoted father to his 6-month-old daughter, Mychelle, and had aspirations of becoming an author. His life was cut short in a tragic incident as he was on his way to the store for snacks, leaving his family and friends in deep sorrow.
Jerrell’s parents, Jerrell Sr. and Josie Rogers, are not only grappling with the immense pain of losing their son but are also facing the financial burden of funeral expenses and the costs associated with caring for Mychelle. To support them during this difficult time, their longtime friend Aram Melikian has organized a GoFundMe campaign. As of now, $400 has been raised out of a $5,000 goal, with generous donations coming from members of the community.
On social media, people have expressed their condolences and shared their memories of Jerrell. Aram Melikian, who initiated the fundraiser, thanked Kathleen Owens for her donation, to which she responded, “Thank you for showing love and support to this family, Aram. I don’t know them or you but I can’t imagine the pain and loss they are going through. Just donated and sending prayers to the family.” Another friend, Lisa Keledjian, simply wrote, “How tragic!”
Jerrell was remembered for his love of reading, writing, and his dream of becoming an author. His books can still be found on Amazon, a testament to the potential that was tragically left unfulfilled. The Rogers family is devastated by his loss, especially for his daughter, who will grow up without her father’s loving presence.
Our hearts go out to the Rogers family during this unimaginable time. May Jerrell Rogers Jr. rest in peace, and may his memory live on in the hearts of those who loved him. We extend our deepest sympathies and prayers to his family, especially for little Mychelle, as they navigate this painful chapter in their lives.
