Jeff Schroeder Obituary

Samuel "Jeff" Schroeder, age 69, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Thursday, November 7, 2024, in Manhattan, Kansas. He was born on April 5, 1955, to parents Samuel Schroeder and Romilda (Schuvie) Trimble, in Hays, KS.

As a man who didn't know a stranger, he took pride in lending a hand to anyone. Starting Stagg Hill Muffler and Brake many years ago, Jeff found that working on cars was not only a job but a passion. He loved fast cars which he then trickled that love down later in life to his two boys, Jared and Josh. As of late, Jeff was the owner and operator of R&J Trucking. He loved to teach his grandkids about muscle cars and big trucks.

Jeff took the most pride in being an amazing father and grandpa. You would find him the happiest being with his grandkids. After having grandchildren, Jeff forgot how to say "no" to anything they wanted. His kids and grandkids were his true pride and joy.

Jeff is survived by his sons Jared Schroeder and Josh (Becky) Schroeder, both of Manhattan, KS; daughters, Jillian Tinkel, of Wamego, KS and Jamie Schroeder, of Manhattan, Kansas; grandchildren, Kale, Kambri, Benjamin, and Brewer Schroeder, Krew Tinkel, Julius Ackles, and Audrey and Austin Wilson; brothers Randall Schroeder, CA, Rick Schroeder, CO; sister Sandra Jacobs, Hays,KS; Jeff's partner Becky May, Lawrence, KS.

He was welcomed into heaven, by his parents, sisters; Becky Schroeder and Dee Trimble; late wife, Rhonda Schroeder and grandson, Korbin Tinkel.

Memorial Service will be held at 6:00pm, Wednesday, November 13, 2024, at Yorgensen-Meloan-Londeen Funeral Home. Inurnment will be at a later date in Colby, KS.

Memorials can be made to Korbin's Clubs in care of Yorgensen-Meloan-Londeen Funeral Home, 1616 Poyntz Ave, Manhattan, KS 66502.
