Dale R. Schroder

Dale Ray Schroder of Harrisonville, Missouri was born August 3, 1955 in Sedalia, Missouri son of Glenn H. and Margaret K. Bolten Schroder.  He departed this life on Friday, November 10, 2023 at Research Medical Center, Kansas City, Missouri at the age of 68.

On February 21, 1976, Dale was united in marriage to Shirley Marie Greufe in Clinton, Missouri.  They enjoyed 44 years of marriage until her passing in 2020.

Dale was a welder and was always busy with a project.  Be it building something or moving dirt or rocks with his skid loader, he kept busy and passed this work ethic on to his sons. He was always willing to help others. He retired from KCP&L Central Maintenance in 2017.

Dale was also a hunter and fisherman, hobbies he also shared with his sons and taught them at an early age.  He loved hunting whitetail deer in the fall and chasing long beards in the spring.  Spending time on the water chasing blue cats was one of his favorite pastime, but he enjoyed catching a mess of crappie too!  Frying up the catch surrounded by family and friends was always a treasured evening.

Dale is proceeded in death by his parents, his wife, and by one sister, Glenda Schroder.

Dale is survived by two sons, Nick Schroder and his wife Melissa, Garden City, Missouri, Scott Schroder and his wife Jessica, Harrisonville, Missouri; two grandchildren, Chandler and Emma Schroder; two sisters, Bonnie Schroder, Jefferson City, Missouri, and Dorothy Schroder, Sedalia, Missouri; other relatives and friends.
