Fredrick Henry Rothganger of Warrensburg, MO passed peacefully into Paradise on Thursday, May 29, 2025, surrounded by his daughters.

Fred was born on October 9, 1933, in Prairie Village, Kansas to Leonard and Nellie Rothganger as the fifth of nine children. He was preceded in death by Barbara, his wife, parents, and all but one of his siblings. He is survived by his daughters, Sheryl (Roger) Keeler of West Plains, MO; Stacy (Rick) Solomon of Warrensburg, MO; and Sara (Todd) Peck of White Cloud, MI; nine grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He served God as a husband, father, brother, friend, church deacon, and missionary. Kingdom service was his God-given talent, and by example he taught and trained everyone he knew how to serve. The impact he made on those he knew will continue for generations.

Working hard and providing for his family was his second priority in life. His working career was spent as a copier repairman being the very first Tech Rep for Xerox in the state of New Mexico. There wasn't anything he couldn't fix which was evident while performing his other earning endeavors--buying, fixing up and selling cars and houses. After his retirement from Xerox, he delivered seed to local farmers which gave him intel on where the best fishing holes were.

He was an amazing, quiet and wise man who was also a fisher of men and was welcomed into Heaven hearing the words "Well done, good and faithful servant".

Celebration of Life services will be held at Encounter Church, 607 Burkarth Rd, Warrensburg, MO on Wednesday, June 4 at 12:00 pm with visitation at 11:00 am.
