Obituary
Robert Dale Roedel, 65, of Lee’s Summit, Missouri passed away on October 12, 2025 at his home.
Robert was born on September 27, 1960 in Boonville, Missouri to Ernie and Charlene Roedel. He grew up in Lee’s Summit and graduated from Lee’s Summit High School. He completed his Associates’ degree at Longview Community College.
Robert married Sylvia Lee of Harrisonville, Missouri on June 25, 1983 in Lee’s Summit. Together they shared 42 years of love and partnership. He worked as a technician at a few companies, with the last nineteen years of his career at FedEx Ground as a maintenance technician.
Outside of work Robert enjoyed tinkering/working on lawn mowers, watching TV, Star Trek and cooking shows were some favorites. He really enjoyed cooking and grilling and had mastered smoking a variety of meats. He and Sylvia did get to take a few short motorcycle rides together. Robert really enjoyed going to the family lake house at Truman Lake.
Robert will be remembered for his kindness and generosity; his dry and sometimes quirky sense of humor; and for the love he gave to his family and friends.

He is survived by his wife Sylvia; sons Nic and Robbie (Davina); grandchildren Maquilla, Isabella, Parker, Preston, Genisis, Ethan and Ian.

Robert will be greatly missed it. Saddens, my heart to see this and hear about it. He was a dad to me. He’d always have me call him dad. When I met him.
He’d always call me kiddo, and I’d watch cooking shows with him. He’d like NASCAR specialty he liked the fedex car Also I made him T-shirt for Christmas he liked it he said to me I never had anyone make me anything. Thank you
