Dean Harold Roadhouse was born on March 6, 1943 in Osborne, Kansas to Harold and Opal (Leighton) Roadhouse. Dean lost his battle to cancer on Sunday, July 14, 2024 surrounded by family.
He grew up on the family farm and graduated from Osborne High School in 1961. He then met and married Patty Williams in January 1964 and they immediately moved to Denver, Colorado where he worked for Coors for four years and had two children.
Dean’s love of the land and farming brought the family back to Osborne to farm and raise cattle with Harold and Opal. They continued to farm until Dean’s retirement in 2019.
In their rare “off time”, Dean and Patty enjoyed spending time with their children and grandchildren, especially cheering on Cade’s racing and sporting events; camping and fishing with friends and family; going to car races; and playing cards and having a beer or two.
Dean was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Opal, and his grandson, Cody Schuber. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Patty; his children Troy Roadhouse of Osborne and Debi (Jason) Schuber of Wichita; grandson Cade Schuber of Wichita; siblings Marge Cline of Osborne, Rex (Barbara) Roadhouse of Moore, Oklahoma, and Nelda (Jim) Hall of Wichita; and many nieces and nephews.
