Kenneth W.

Rogers

            Kenneth W. Rogers, 78, of Horsham, PA, passed away on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

            He was the husband of Evelyn (Fisher) Rogers, for thirty-four years.

            Born in Doylestown, PA, he was the son of William Rogers and Helen Hart.

            Ken was employed as an engineer and retired after 40 years, working at Johnson Controls (formerly Tyco). Ken held eight patents for various sprinkler head designs. He was also the owner of Horsham Contractors. Ken found he really missed his work and had recently worked as a consultant for Victaulic Fire Protection.

            In his spare time, Ken was an avid golfer and also enjoyed cycling and running. Running became his passion after recovering from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2004/2005. He set ambitious goals of running marathons and proudly completed the Philadelphia and Chicago Marathons. Undoubtedly, his proudest achievement was completing the Boston Marathon twice. Ken also completed several 100-mile bike rides with the LiveStrong Foundation, accompanied by many of his Tyco coworkers.

            In addition to his wife, Ken is survived by his four children: Matthew Rogers of Williamsport, Megan Rogers also of Williamsport, Stefanie Maus of Horsham, and Kristen DiRado and her husband Scott Hoover of Telford; five grandchildren: Mason, Christopher, Gavin, Mackenzie, and Ava, and his “unofficial” grandson Ricky; his two brothers William Rogers of Perkasie, Bruce Rogers and his wife Rachel of Gill Island, MD, and sister Sandy Goucher of Bangor, PA. Ken was predeceased by his brother Raymond Rogers and sister Betty Jane Rogers.

            A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date at the convenience of the family.
