Roger Hoeh was born on June 15, 1952, to Jay and Zada (Olson) Hoeh, and grew up in Beverly, Kansas — the community and countryside he would call home his entire life. He shared his life and love with his wife, Jean (Sundgren) Hoeh, walking side by side through 46 years of marriage filled with faith, hard work, and devotion to family. From a young age, Roger learned the value of hard work, humility, and faith — lessons taught by his parents and reinforced by a lifetime spent close to the land.
He grew up with a deep love for cattle, a good horse, a trusty dog, and the open range — a love that became both his life’s work and his calling. He poured that calling into Sun Ranch — the land he tended, the herd he built, and the family he raised upon it.
Roger faithfully served his community and cherished the friendships he made along the way. Whether through his work with local organizations or simply supporting neighbors and friends, he was always present — a steady friend with a quick wit and a generous heart.
Roger’s greatest joy came from his family, especially his grandchildren. He loved watching them grow up on the ranch he cherished so deeply — attending their sporting events, hearing about their hunting adventures, and teaching them to care for cattle and live with integrity. He didn’t need to say much; his life did the talking.
He leaves behind a legacy not only in the land but in the lives he touched. Sun Ranch still carries his fingerprints on every gate and pasture — a lasting reminder of a man who worked hard, loved deeply, and trusted fully in his Savior.
Roger is preceded in death by his parents, Jay and Zada (Olson) Hoeh. He is survived by his loving wife, Jean (Sundgren) Hoeh; daughters Amanda (Hoeh) Janzen and husband Luke Janzen, and Kerry (Hoeh) Cramton and husband Clint Cramton; and his beloved grandchildren, Cassadee, Emmalee, and Adelyn Janzen, and Case and Coyer Cramton.
His faith never wavered, and now his work here is done.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
