James L Sader

James L. Sader, affectionately known as "Jim," was born on August 20, 1939, in Ramona, Kansas. He left this world peacefully on October 4, 2025, in Junction City, Kansas, surrounded by the memories of a life well-lived.

James married the love of his life Rosie McFall on August 21, 1960 in Salina, Kansas at Trinity Lutheran Church. Together they moved to Junction City and started their family and life of love and laughter. 

Jim began his professional journey in the insurance field after passing the Life Underwriter Exam in 1965, which marked the beginning of a rewarding 25-year career as an insurance agent in Junction City. His dedication to service extended beyond insurance; he also made significant contributions to the local economy by purchasing and operating a liquor store on the corner of 10th and Franklin for two decades. This entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to his community have left a lasting impact on those who knew him.

A man of many interests and a love for adventure, Jim cherished family vacations that took him across the country, with unforgettable memories created in places such as Hawaii, Texas, Colorado, South Dakota, and Nevada. His passions included avid reading and traveling, spending summers soaking up the sun in Fort Myers Beach, Florida.

Jim enjoyed living in Italy with his beloved wife, Rosie, for a couple of years while they traveled throughout Europe and parts of Africa. He was also deeply involved in his children's lives, serving as a basketball and football coach at Immanuel Lutheran School, where he nurtured the talents of young athletes.

Jim's love for family was profound and unwavering. He is survived by his son, Terry (Angela) Sader; daughter, Denise (Barrie) Loeb; grandchildren, Kristen, Lindsey, Caitlin, and Sydney; and great-grandchildren, Jackson, Caiden, Lincoln, and Alexander. He found immense joy in spending time with his grandchildren, creating a legacy of love that will continue through them.

He was preceded in death by his cherished wife, Rosie McFall Sader, who passed on November 8, 2011, his parents, Peter and Hanna Sader, and his siblings, sister LaDonna Sader and brother Gerald Sader.

The family invites all who knew Jim to celebrate his life during the visitation on October 15, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, followed by a memorial service at 11:00 AM, at Johnson & Mass-Hinitt Cremations, Funerals & Receptions in Junction City, Kansas. A graveside service will take place later that day at 12:30 PM at Lewis Cemetery in Ramona, Kansas.

James L. Sader will be remembered fondly for his warmth, dedication to family, and contributions to his community. He leaves behind a beautiful legacy, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know him.
