Roger Charles Ringkob, also known as Razzle, was born on November 1, 1942, in Jackson, Minnesota to the late Freel and Neva (Foster) Ringkob. As a lifetime member of the Jackson community, Roger was baptized and confirmed at Our Savior's Lutheran Church. He attended Enterprise Township country school and graduated from Jackson High School in 1960. Roger served in the Army National Guard.

In the early 1960's, Roger owned and operated Roger's Drive-In. Roger later partnered with Tony Sierstad, who bought Hier Milling, which eventually became Jackson Feed Company. As the owner operator, Roger worked for nearly 40 years until his retirement in 2002.

On November 19, 1966, Roger was united in marriage to Pamela K. Grover at the Presbyterian Church in Jackson. The couple was blessed with two children, Charles and Jill. Roger lived for his family and supported them wholeheartedly. He attended more football games, gymnastics meets, cattle shows, dance recitals, volleyball and basketball games than we can count and loved every minute of every event. When it came to his children and grandchildren, he definitely was their biggest fan and attended as many of their activities as he could. He was an avid fisherman and die-hard Vikings fan. In his retirement, he learned the art of wood turning. Roger and Pam loved travelling with friends and family. Some of their fondest times were the fourteen years they wintered in Florida. Roger made it a priority to give to his community serving as a Lions Club member, Jackson City Council member, 10 years as a Jackson County Commissioner, and 28 years as a board member for Jackson Federal Savings and Loan.

On Sunday, December 15, 2024, Roger passed away peacefully at his home in Jackson, surrounded by his loving family.

Roger is survived by his wife of 58 years, Pam Ringkob of Jackson; son, Charles (Jennifer) Ringkob of Lake City, SD; daughter, Jill (Matt) Benson of Jackson; "The Magnificent 7" grandchildren, Shelby, Justin (Johnna), Emmalie (Lee), Haley (Jake), Grace (Nathan), Regan, and Megan; 3 great- grandchildren, Bonnie, Lilly and Paden; sister, Rita (Donald) Elvig of Loda, IL; sister-in-law, Karen Ringkob of Jackon; as well as many cousins and friends.

Roger was preceded in death by his parents, Freel and Neva Ringkob; brother, Larry Ringkob; parents-in-law, Matt and Lucille Grover and Etta Zwiefel.

Blessed be the memory of Roger "Razzle" Ringkob.
