Henry Albert Roddiger

Henry Albert Roddiger, of Lake Saint Louis, MO, passed away Thursday, September 11, 2025, at the age of 82. Beloved husband of Frances Ellen Roddiger; cherished son of the late Mary Elizabeth and William Homer Ward; devoted father of Eric (Christinia) Roddiger and Brian (Melissa Wright) Roddiger.

Henry grew up in Gary, IN, graduating from Emerson High School in 1960, and in 1962 he met the love of his life, Frances, at Purdue University, where he later graduated in 1965. A devoted husband, proud father, and loyal Purdue alumnus, he followed their sporting events closely throughout his life. Henry built a remarkable career at McDonnell Douglas, Engineered Air Systems, and Boeing, where he held multiple patents, and his passion for cars was evident in his love of racing, building, and driving. He also enjoyed boating, rafting, traveling, and cherished a core group of lifelong friends. Henry was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Assistance Home Care, particularly Payton, and Sarah of St. Croix Hospice.

Memorials may be made in Henry's name to Five Acres Animal Shelter.
