James Timothy Rogers, 55, born August 27, 1965 in Martinsburg, WV to James M. Rogers and the late Sherry Doreen Henry Rogers, unexpectedly passed away and went to be with the Lord on Saturday, January 30, 2021 of an underlying health issue. James attended Wakefield High School in Arlington, VA and after the passing of his beloved Mother moved with his brother and Father to Inwood, WV to be nearer to family. He worked in many different professions but found cooking and restaurant work to fit his gifts the best. Tim loved people and loved to talk; he never met a stranger. He had a broad knowledge and love of music and cars and could remember every phone number he was ever given clear back to grade school. In 1993 he moved to North Carolina where he met his best friend and love of his life Reba Hicks in 1996, who would later become his wife in 2007, after being together for 11 years. James and Reba had two sons Timothy James “TJ” (21) and Dylan Cole (10).
