  Tracy Keith Johnson passed peacefully on April 7, 2025. He was a much-loved husband, father, brother, and son. 

Throughout his life, Tracy was a passionate agriculturist and farmer. He worked on farms in central Arizona since his legs were long enough to reach the tractor pedals, and long before air-conditioned tractor cabs. He started driving a tractor alongside his dad and brother while working for family friends, the Vanosdell’s. Then transitioned to Paloma Ranch (Prudential Insurance Company), Bickman Farms, Lakin Milling, and Lakin Cattle Company. He worked for the Lakin family for the last 30 years. He farmed a variety of crops including roses, vegetables, cotton, alfalfa, Bermuda grass, wheat, and corn

Tracy’s passion for service led him to volunteer on multiple boards throughout the years where he made lasting contributions to the community. He was a respected member of the University of Arizona Maricopa Agricultural Center Advisory Committee, Maricopa County Fair Board, Maricopa County Cooperative Extension Board, Maricopa County 4-H Large Livestock Board, Arizona Forage Producers, and Maricopa County Farm Bureau Board. Through his dedication, he worked hard to improve the lives of others and support the agricultural community.

  Kevin Gene Rogers passed away April 13, 2022, in Laveen, Arizona at the age of 61. He attended Littleton Elementary School, Tolleson High School, and The University of Arizona.

Kevin met the love of his life, Janel, while managing a tractor dealership next to her father's contracting business and married on July 1, 1989. They raised their children, Taylor, Kevin Jr. and Morgan in Mesa, Arizona while Kevin ran the east valley portion of the Rogers Brother Family Farm. He was an active member in the Arizona Farm Bureau for over 35 years and served as their state president for 14 years. Kevin then worked as the Executive Vice President for the Arizona Cotton Growers. Kevin’s membership in Valley View Bible Church spanned his entire life. He was also a lifetime supporter of the Arizona 4-H Youth Foundation, the Arizona FFA, and the Maricopa County Fair. He was a member of Project CENTRL Class 7. He served on the Arizona Agricultural Education/FFA Foundation Board and was very passionate about helping youth in Agriculture.

 Lyle passed away on August 26, 2023, at the age of 86, surrounded by loved ones who will continue to honor his legacy by living their lives to the fullest. 

 

Lyle and the love of his life Ellyn  raised four children. Lyle was a craftsman, an iron worker by trade and built many homes for his family. He continued to share his love as he volunteered with the Peoria FFA program as a shop teacher, meats judging coach and mentor for over 30 years. He shared his love for agriculture with his family and volunteered at the Maricopa County Fair and Arizona National Livestock Show as a beef superintendent for several years. His biggest joy in life was spending time with his family and some would say he was the world’s greatest grandpa. He never missed a county fair, sporting event, graduation, was up to any task his family wanted, and their biggest cheerleader.
