H. Wayne Vogel, 89, St. Joseph, Missouri, passed away Saturday, December 27, 2025.

He was born July 11, 1936 to Louis W. and Emma E. (Knapp) Vogel in St. Joseph, Missouri.

A proud graduate of Central High School in 1954, Wayne laid a foundation of discipline and commitment that would define his career and personal endeavors. In 1968, Wayne began a long-standing role in the shipping department at Stetson Hats. He also owned and operated a successful lawn service.

Wayne's dedication to work was matched by his commitment to his faith and community. As a long-time member of the Ashland United Methodist Church, he cultivated friendships and contributed to the church's mission through both moments of fellowship and steadfast service.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Survivors include his brother, Norman Vogel, Sr. (Linda); nephew, Curt Vogel (Jennifer); niece, Jennifer Morrow (Jack); great nieces and nephews, Jared Vogel, Jordan Vogel, Tony Blevins, Jordan Ann Hager, Jentri Lackey, Ethan Morrow, and Ashton Morrow.
