It is with great regret and sadness that we announce the passing of our long time colleague Dave Rogers.

Dave spent a career as a newspaper man, reporter, author, and historian. We have known Dave for years and he was one of the first to join the MyBayCity staff as a reporter and columnist. Over the years Dave gained a loyal following. Everyone looked forward to his well researched, and sometimes just opinionated, articles.

Dave passed away Sunday, August 18, 2019. Services are still being organized. We will follow up with a full obituary and details soon. Dave's funeral will be handled by Gephart Funeral Home in Bay City.

Our publication will not be the same without Dave. His passing leaves a great hole in both our organization and in our hearts. We're going to miss you Dave.

We sign off with Dave's signature closing.
