The twins were only 15 years old when their father passed away in March 2020 at the age of 81. While losing a parent at such a pivotal age is an undeniable tragedy, the legacy Rogers left for them was one of intentionality. He spent their formative years making sure they knew they were his priority. He often spoke about how Justin and Jordan kept him young, giving him a reason to stay healthy and a perspective on life that was far removed from the glitz of Nashville. He had finally learned that while music could fill an arena, only family could fill a home.Family games
In the years since his passing, Wanda Miller has remained a steadfast guardian of his memory. She has often shared that Rogers’ final years were his happiest, characterized by a sense of peace that had eluded him during his younger, more frantic days. For the twins, their father is not just the man in the sequins on the album covers; he is the dad who was there for the everyday moments. Rogers managed to achieve something rare in the world of entertainment: a redemptive final act. He took the “mistress” of his career and finally put her in her place, ensuring that his last and most lasting love was reserved for his wife and his sons.
