Hansard. His nephews Tony Love, Albert Rogers,and Roy Lee Tiller “Tee”his nieces Tracy, Kathy, and Net. His daughters' moms, Joyce Bledsoe and his love Debra K. Thomas. Alvin lived a fun and full life. Alvin T. Rogers was born on April 28, 1956 in Preston MS. He was a member of Havenside Church-God In Christ in KCK, where he was also Baptisd and gave his life to Christ. He worked many jobs throughout his life but most of it as a driver for Deffenbaugh Garbage Disposal and as driver for Hospital Linen. He was the Lead lumper at Lady Baltimore. The job Alvin loved the most and did until his health began to fail him was his Lawn service. He served both Kansas City Ks and KCMO residents, all were faithful and longtime patrons, family and friends. Alvin loved sports, going to the casino, hanging out with friends and family, watching westerns and listening to the blues. He was initially a fan of the Chargers but his love for the Chiefs eventually won out. He also loved to drive, it did not matter if it was across town or across the country. He was always ready and willing to make a road trip. When you took a trip around town you couldn’t be in a hurry because he was gonna stop everywhere and speak to everyone before making it back home. People often stated if you get in the car with Alvin you were kidnapped for the day if they got in the car with him. OH! You better not call at 11 am, he would always be found sitting in his favorite recliner watching “The Young and the Restless” and he did not want to be interrupted. Alvin also loved dressing nicely and taking pictures. He made sure he always had on his sunglasses which were his signature piece for the photo. Alvin had a great love for his family and friends, his friends were more like family than friends. He made sure to let his children know who his family was and to make sure they visited family when they went to other states to visit. He was very big on family knowing who their kin folks were. He had so much love for others and took in his children’s friends as his other kids. Alvin T. Rogers departed this life early Monday morning on March 6th, 2023 at the Kansas City Hospice House surrounded by his family. He was a loving man and a providing father. He gave all that he could whenever he could. If you needed him, Alvin was never more than a phone call away. He was willing to help in any situation and if he couldn’t he always knew someone that could. He was Superman! He leaves to cherish his 3 daughters Rashonda(Ivory)Laster of Kansas City, KS.
