David William Schroeder, 65 of Sedalia, Missouri passed away Tuesday, August 6, 2024 at Research Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri.

David was born April 18, 1959 at Western Missouri Medical Center in Warrensburg, Missouri, son of Edgar Fredrick and Vera Mae (Kuhlman) Schroeder.

David originally resided in Knob Noster from birth until 2020 when Kathy and David sold the farm. David began farming as a youngster on the family farm and continued until he was no longer able in 2019. He formed an early friendship with Danny Everts and for many years they farmed together. David was a graduate of Central Missouri State University with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Business. He worked for several years with Draper-Everts Construction and Gates Factory. He lived and breathed the country and farming. He loved animals and was especially fond of a picky uppity acting tuxedo cat lovingly known as Mr. Puss that lived with David and Kathy for over 12 years. David worshipped his children and grandchildren and spent much of the last few years enjoying their company and following their many activities.
