STROEDER: Randy

November 9, 1937 鈥� March 15, 2017

It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that the family of Randy Stroeder of Humboldt, SK, announces his passing at Humboldt District Hospital on Wednesday, March 15, 2017, following a valiant battle with cancer.聽 He was 79 years of age. Randy, the third eldest in a family of 18, was born on Tuesday, November 9, 1937, to Anthony and Mary (nee Albers) Stroeder at St. Elizabeth鈥檚 Hospital, Humboldt. He was raised on the family farm just north of Marysburg and attended St. Henry鈥檚 School. Randy attended Mass regularly and was an altar server for many years. From young on, his faith was very important to him. Randy left home at the age of 17 and worked as a carpenter for approximately four years. His first job was building the new school in Marysburg. Randy then started farming and in 1962, worked in the hotel business with his future brother-in-law Werner Wittke until Werner鈥檚 passing in 1991. On August 10, 1963, Randy married Janet Wittke. They began their life together on the Wittke home place north of Dixon and were blessed with three wonderful daughters, Michelle, Carla, and Jackie.聽 Randy and Janet sold their farm and in 1992, moved into Humboldt where Randy began his employment at Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral Chapel. That was truly his calling; throughout the past 25+ years, he was totally dedicated to his position, right up until the present. Randy鈥檚 work ethics were articulate and incomparable. His motto was 鈥渁nything worth doing, is worth doing right鈥�. After moving to Humboldt, Randy continued his tradition of getting up at 5:00 a.m., rain or shine. A thoughtful, kind, respectful, and humble man who possessed great integrity, he put others needs before his own, and was always ready and willing to help anyone. Although Randy was a workaholic, he did enjoy a number of hobbies and pastimes.聽 He had a passion for hunting, and also enjoyed fishing, gardening, playing cards, and socializing with family and friends, especially in his home. An avid sports fan, in his younger years, Randy played hockey for the Marysburg Royals. In more recent years, he liked to watch a variety of sports on T.V. Although Randy preferred staying close to home, he did enjoy trips to Disneyland, Portland, Reno, Vancouver, Kitimat, and Yellowknife. More than anything, he treasured spending time with his beloved family. 鈥淟ife鈥檚 work well done, Randy, life鈥檚 work well done.鈥�聽 Randy will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his wife of 53 years, Janet (nee Wittke) Stroeder; their two children, five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren: Michelle (Kevin) Kuervers and family, Ryan (Brett) Kuervers and their children Sophee and Greyson, Kyle Kuervers (special friend Lisa) and his son Kael, and Bryson Kuervers; and Jackie (Kevin) Rohrke and their children Kaitlyn Rohrke and Mitchel Rohrke; five brothers and six sisters: Melvin (Josephine) Stroeder, Grace Bautz, Millie (Ray) Hofmann, Bob Stroeder, Tony (Sandy) Stroeder, Ann Zelle, Ken Stroeder, Ruth (Benno) Barlage, Karen Ferguson, Kevin (Allyson) Stroeder, and Judy (Paul) Ulrich; sisters-in-law:聽 Nora Klashinsky, and Lynda (Ralph) Britz; numerous nieces, nephews, and their families; his co-workers and friends; and all who knew and loved him.
