Brian Thomas Rogers
Brian Thomas Rogers, 44, of Beaumont, Texas, died in a motor vehicle accident on May 16, 2025.
He was born in Baton Rouge on March 9, 1981, to James and Betty Rogers. His father was his best friend.
Brian earned his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from McNeese State University in 2009. Brian took pride in his role as the Major Projects Supervisor at ExxonMobil and providing for his family. Working for the company for over thirteen years, his problem-solving skills helped him to excel in supporting the startup and commissioning of the large capital investments across the refinery and chemical plant.
Brian married Kristen Marie Allenday on December 17, 2011, in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Brian valued the loyalty and dependability of his loving wife. They loved spending time at the beach. Brian and Kristen welcomed two lovely daughters, Olivia Marie and Julia Noelle. Brian enjoyed riding the four-wheeler with his girls at his side. He also enjoyed chatting with his girls at bedtime and while waiting for the bus in the morning.
Brian felt most at peace when he was outdoors. He embraced every opportunity to connect with nature. He loved to be in the woods more than anything else, day or night hunting deer and hogs or just enjoying the peaceful silence. He loved taking care of his property and spending time in his shop tinkering with his equipment, although rarely actually fixing it. He took pride in a well-maintained yard and loved to cut grass. He made fires to enjoy with his family on a cold night and lit fireworks on special occasions. Brian was an excellent storyteller and even though most details were embellished, you felt like you were there.
Brian’s untimely departure has left a permanent void in the hearts of his family and friends.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Louis and Seraphine Campanile and Thomas and Bertha Rogers.
Brian is survived by his wife, Kristen; daughters, Olivia and Julia; parents, Jim and Betty Rogers; and sister, Sarah Rogers.

It is sad to hear of this sudden loss, Brian was a man of strength and we went through some tough professional times together. He will be missed. Praying for your family.
I am so saddened by Brian’s untimely death. He was my cousin, and though we lost touch over the years, I will always remember his sweet smile and love for life. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Full throttle, big wheelie.One of my few friends. RIP.
We are so sad to say good-bye to Brian. I smile and laugh a bit thinking about some of the stories he shared and the problems that we overcame working together. He will always be missed.
We were so saddened to hear of Brian’s untimely death…. We are praying for all of you as you navigate this unknown territory of grief and loss….our hearts break for each and every one of you….. Please know we will continue to pray for comfort and peace that can only come from our Loving Lord….
May God cover your Family and keep his loving arms wrapped around each of you, keeping your family in my prayers you have my deepest sympathy.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God hold y’all “in the palm of His hands”.
Sweet Brian. He was a big part of my childhood bc I lived at Sarahs house half the time. Brian was never the annoying little brother, instead he was often right there with us, keeping us laughing, or telling Sarah and I how much we shouldn’t be doing something. I think he might’ve threatened to tell on us a couple times, but I don’t think he ever did. Then when we were older and Sarah and I had a condo in the same complex (of course), Brian lived with Sarah for a while and when she wasn’t home to talk to, I was his next resort. I didn’t mind. Brian was always so sweet and he genuinely cared about others. He will be so missed!
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you in this time of mourning. Losing a child is the most devastating lose there is, regardless of how old they may be.
John 14 :2 In My Father’s house are many mansions: if it was not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also. We are only passing through this world, eternity is forever.
