Roger was the epitome of a loving father; determined to provide for his family and give them the life he felt they deserved. Born October 11, 1949, in Kingsley, Iowa to Emery Paul and Dorothy Klingensmith, Roger grew up in Moville where he attended Woodbury Central School. He was part of the first undefeated football team in 1966 and participated in rodeos, riding bulls and wrestling steers. In 8th grade, Roger met the love of his life and best friend, Leah. Roger graduated high school in 1967. Two years after graduation, he enlisted in the United States Navy and married Leah soon after, on May 6, 1969.

After his honorable discharge and completion of service, Roger and Leah returned to Moville, Iowa with two young boys in tow, Jason Paul and Brian Scott. The family made their home in the countryside, where they farmed and raised turkeys with Roger’s father, Paul. Roger and Leah added to their family with two more children, Jeffrey Michael and Alison Brooke, and eventually moved to town. Roger changed careers and worked in the financial industry for 37 years, devoting many of those years to farmers through finances and friendship. Roger was a member of the American Legion and NRA, served on the Meadows Country Club board and Woodbury Central school board for 6 years.

Roger and Leah made many friends during their marriage of 56 years, friends that lasted Roger’s lifetime. In his spare time, he enjoyed golfing, horseback riding, and camping. Anyone that knew Roger, knew he was the most loving and devoted father, friend, and husband anyone could ask for. He had an active faith life in which he found peace in the Church. He proudly spent time with Leah while watching both his children and grandchildren participate in their sports and excel in their careers. He was proud of all of their accomplishments and made every attempt to support each and every family member in any way possible.

Roger is survived by his loving wife, Leah; his four children and their spouses, Jason Klingensmith (Sara) of Sergeant Bluff, IA, Brian Klingensmith (Tammy) of Sparta, TN, Jeff Klingensmith (Candy) of Sioux Falls, SD, and Alison Schilling (Matt) of Le Mars, IA; 11 grandchildren, Zachary (Kayla), Lukas (Alyssa), Colby, Kelsey, Cole (Brooke), Beau, Brooke, Cade, Andrew, Anna, and Mason; and siblings, Linda Masters, Julie Davis, and Amy Groth.
