Michael "Lewie" Rodgers
August 19, 1946 — December 30, 2020
Michael ‘Lewie’ Rodgers, of Hodges, husband of Kay Rodgers, passed away peacefully on December 30, 2020. He was born in Saluda County, SC to the late Carson Michael Rodgers and Virginia Forrest Matthews.
Affectionately known as ‘Pop’, Mr. Rodgers was a devoted Catholic and member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church and the Men’s Club. An avid South Carolina Gamecock and Atlanta Falcon’s fan, he cheered them on even during their toughest years. Pop was the proud owner/operator of We’ll Deal Auto Wholesale for 30 years. He loved his Gi Gi, his girls, friends and family. Pop’s grandboys were the lights of his life and his favorite thing to do was watch football with his ‘boys’.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Pat Rodgers; stepfather, Ralph Matthews and two nieces, Melissa Burrus and Leigh Ann Rodgers.
Pop is survived by his loving wife of 45 years, Kay; his daughters, Kim Huckaby, Lisa Rodgers, Anna Rodgers (Randy) and Jennifer Raines (Butch); grandsons, Carson Gibert and Connor Linsenbigler and special daughter, Tonya Gurganus.
