Kirk M. Rogers, 69, lost his battle with Pancreatic Cancer on January 26, 2023 surrounded by his loving family. He was born 19 May 1953 on the Submarine Base at New London, CT, to John S. Rogers, Jr. and Bernice E. Rogers. The family moved to several US Navy bases over his early years and settled in Auburn, ME in 1969. Kirk graduated from Edward Little High School in 1971 and attended the University of Maine Farmington.
He spent most of his career working in the construction and real estate development industries and served as Vice President of Equity Builders for over 27-years working in sixteen different states.
Being near water formed his passion for many of his various pursuits to include earning his SCUBA certification in the late 1970s. He logged over 500 underwater hours, much of this time spent winter scalloping along the Maine coast.
Always ardent about music, Kirk learned to play guitar before attending high school and although unable to play much later in life, he developed a collection of various instruments both for electric and acoustic work which he took pride in. He was just beginning serious playing again when cancer raised its ugly head and stopped everything in its path.
In the early 2000s Kirk became interested in long distance motorcycling.
Kirk is survived by his loving wife, Linda M. Swan; sons Kirk, Jr. and his wife Sofija, Matthew and his wife Valerie, daughter Sarah, six grandchildren, mother, brother John and many nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by his father, sisters Mary Ann and Susan, and grandson, Nash Harrington Rogers.
