Very sorry to hear of this sudden loss I have done business with Rodger (R.I.P) for over a decade and was deeply saddened to hear of this. We spoke a few times and mainly had a business correspondence, very sad. May you be comforted in your togetherness as a loving family, and know no more sorrow

My deepest condolences to Linda and the entire Ashburn family. I did business with Rodger for many years and though I only talked to him 3-4 times per year I found him to be a very smart man and a good man to know and have the pleasure to talk to and do business with. We never talked about our personal lives, and of course now I wished we had, but it's great to see he loved his family. I'll pray for Rodger and all who knew him. I'm sure I speak for the many who did business with Rodger, he will be missed.
