Bryan Rogers

Bryan G. Rogers II was a young man from the Ripley area who had ties to Charleston’s west side. Though public records about his private life are limited, contemporaneous local reporting identifies him as 27 years old at the time of his death on December 27, 2015. He lived in and among communities where family, neighbors, and everyday routines shaped identity — the small moments and relationships that define a life.

Available sources place Bryan in the neighborhoods around Littlepage Terrace on Charleston’s West Side. He had survived an earlier shooting in October 2015, and by the end of that year his life was cut short on December 27, 2015. Those facts are part of the public record; they do not capture his full personhood. Friends, family members, and neighbors who knew Bryan would best remember the ordinary details: the rhythms of his days, the people he laughed with, and the ways he participated in community life.

While formal obituary notices or funeral-home remembrances matching his name and exact date of death were not found in the sources reviewed, contemporaneous news coverage and public court records document the subsequent legal proceedings that followed his death. Importantly for a memorial, the available public references confirm that Bryan was a real person whose life and connections mattered to others and whose death left family and community members with sorrow and unanswered questions.

This page honors Bryan as more than the headlines: a young adult from the Ripley/Charleston area whose life had meaning to those close to him. Where public records are sparse about personal details, this remembrance respectfully acknowledges those limits while affirming that he was a person with relationships, a story, and a place in his community. May those who loved him continue to find comfort in their memories of Bryan and in the company of family and friends who recall him best.
