A beloved Stafford Township Intermediate School teacher, Tim Rogers of Barnegat, died at home unexpectedly on March 6. His death followed a brief illness, possibly COVID-19, but the family will not have autopsy results for several months. He was 57.

His brother Steven is still in shock: “(Tim) got sick out of the blue and died in his sleep a week later. … The guy had zero health issues. He was well in shape. He became ill and was gone a week later.”
