"Joy was a devoted wife to her husband and a loving mother of three. Born and raised in California, she and her family moved to Southport just a year ago to enjoy their retirement. In that short time, she touched countless lives in her community. Joy loved Jesus deeply, and because of that, she loved others deeply. She lived up to her name-her spirit radiated joy, light, and kindness everywhere she went."
"The mass shooting in Southport happened just 12 hours before another Marine veteran who also served Operation Iraqi Freedom allegedly rammed his truck through the front doors of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan, and opened fire on the congregation with an assault weapon, killing four people and injuring eight, authorities said. The suspected Michigan gunman was killed in a gunfight with police."
Joy Rogers, 64, was killed Saturday night in a mass shooting at the American Fish Company on the Southport waterfront while patrons sat on an outdoor deck listening to live music. The Rogers family moved from California about a year ago; they said Joy was a devoted wife and mother of three who touched countless lives and lived with deep faith. Two other people were killed and five remained hospitalized. The suspected shooter, 40-year-old Nigel Max Edge, is a decorated Marine veteran last assigned to Camp Lejeune, wounded in Iraq and reportedly suffering from PTSD. Authorities alleged Edge targeted patrons.
