Paul David "Peachy" Ditzer

It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of Paul David Ditzer, who left this world a far better place than when he entered it. Paul went to be with his Savior on Feb. 22, 2026 from his home in Oak Grove, MO. In his 75 years, he was able to touch many lives with his wisdom, humor, and sacrificial spirit of giving his time, efforts, and money for others.

Paul was born on December 21, 1950, in Chattanooga, Tennessee to Reverend Earl David Ditzer and Marie Nell Garrett.

Paul served his country for eight years in the Marine Corps and received awards for his sharpshooting. While serving, he met his beloved wife, Pamela Ann Kline, and settled in Kansas City, MO. Paul enjoyed working with technology and computers and was a Systems Programmer until his retirement. He also enjoyed farming and the outdoors, and at various times raised goats, sheep, and his lifelong passion, Clydesdale horses.

In retirement, Paul volunteered extensively on behalf of First Baptist Church of Oak Grove to mow lawns, build ramps for disabled veterans, and serve the church in numerous other ways by starting a volunteer group for retired men. He strongly believed in charitable giving and gave sacrificially to worthy causes. Paul earned the nickname "Peachy" because of his sense of humor, good spirits, and selflessness.

Paul is survived by his loving family: wife, Pamela Ditzer; his children, Heather Ditzer, Randy Ditzer, and Nicole Ditzer; and his grandchildren, Alex Dylan Harrison, Adrianne Danielle Harrison, and Jayden Carter Ditzer, all of whom will miss his very much. He is survived by his three sisters, Julie Oglesby, Cindy Hunt, and Merry Lee Brewer, all of Kentucky.

Funeral services will be held on Friday evening, February 27th at First Baptist Church of Oak Grove, MO. Visitation will be 5:30-7:00 pm followed by the funeral service at 7 pm.
