Patrick Rodgers

Patrick Dwayne Rodgers, 65, passed away Thursday, January 22, 2026, at Self Regional Healthcare.

Born in Prosperity, and a son of Nan Bedenbaugh Rodgers and the late Thurmond Marion Rodgers, he was the husband of Ashe Skelton Rodgers. He was a retired truck driver and a former employee of J.C.'s Truck and Auto Center in Greenwood, where he spent many years doing what he loved most. Being a mechanic was more than a job for Mr. Rodgers; it was his passion. He took great pride in his work and was known for his skill, patience, and willingness to help others. Whether it was a long day in the shop or offering advice to someone in need, he found true satisfaction in keeping engines running and people moving. He was a member of Augusta Highway Baptist Church in Greenwood.

Surviving alongside his wife and mother are a son, Patrick Dwayne Rodgers, Jr. of Saluda, a daughter, Christy Lane Rodgers of Ninety Six, two brothers, Terry Randall Rodgers (Donna) of Ninety Six, and James Albert Rodgers of Saluda, a sister, Pamela Renee Shealy of Saluda, a granddaughter, Breanna Lynn Rodgers (Kaleb Barnette), and a great-grandson, Taytum Barnette.

Mr. Rodgers was preceded in death by his father and his two granddaughters, Emilee Noelle Rodgers and Kaylee Nicole Rodgers.

A memorial service will be held 5 p.m., Tuesday, January 27, 2026 at Augusta Highway Baptist Church, 3716 US-178, Greenwood, SC 29646 with Rev. Kenny Griffin officiating. The family will receive friends following the service.
