Jerome William Rodeman
February 14, 1954 ~ March 18, 2021
Jerome Rodeman, 67, of Jefferson City, passed away on Thursday, March 18, 2021, surrounded by family at Capital Region Medical Center.
He was born February 14, 1954, to the late Edmond and Alma (Toebben) Rodeman in Wardsville. After graduating from high school, Jerome continued his schooling in Colorado becoming a diesel engine mechanic.
In his younger years, he painted airplanes, was an over-the-road trucker and returned in 1972 to help on the family farm. From 2006 until 2017, Jerome worked at Delong's Inc. and presently worked full time on the family farm.
On April 28, 1990, Jerome married Dixie Eikermann at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church, Wardsville who survives.
Hard work was no stranger to Jerome. He could fix or make just about anything and loved to work from sun up to sun down, but Jerome always made time for deer hunting season. Even though he had a stubborn streak, he also had a great sense of humor.
Survivors include his wife, Dixie of Jefferson City; three step-children, Theresa (Dave) Cunningham of Centertown, Sonya (Chris) Horne of Centertown, Ryan Holloway of Jefferson City; six step-grandchildren, Ashley (Lance) New, Dustin Cunningham, Blake (Sierra) Kramer, Caitlyn Horne, Eric Horne, Reagan Holloway; five step-great-grandchildren, Kason, Kinzley, Koda, Kimber and Callie; and his brother, Bob (Mary) Rodeman of Wardsville.
Jerome was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Delbert; and step-granddaughter, Ryley Holloway.

Jerome and I have been married almost 31 years. He was the love of my life. My best friend and lover and my husband
Dixie, Peewee and I were saddened to hear of Jerome’s passing. Peewee talked for an hour about memories of him and working on cars. He said he was one of a kind. You’re in our thoughts and prayers.
Jerome and I were classmates 1st grade and all thru high school. He and I always considered ourselves as Rock Creek Road neighbor kids. I’ve always thought a lot of him. He was a wonderful guy, always had lots of stories to tell. One month ago today he came to visit me, very unexpected.When I opened the door he said, “You’re just the person I was looking for.” We had a very nice visit for an hour and a half before he said he had to go. That’s the 1st time he ever came to my house to visit, and I’m so glad he did. We caught up on a lot of things that has happened in our lives. We laughed so much about past adventures. I will treasure that visit the rest of my life. Rest In Peace dear friend and classmate. I’ll keep an eye on the eagles for you. Anna ‘Siebeneck’ Rackers
