John Richard Ogden was called home on July 27th, 2025, at the Meramec Springs Country Store and RV Park in St. James, Missouri. John was 52, born in Lapeer, Michigan to Richard Ogden and Patricia Radloff. He graduated Yale High Class of 1991 and went on to drive a truck for Schneider. After he retired, he spent his time helping those in need and volunteering at a homeless shelter in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

John loved to "roam," the only way to soothe his wanderlust was the waters of the Great Lakes. Often, he expressed he was "at peace," near the water. He loved collectibles and had a specific appreciation for model trains and Hot Wheels. You would always find him listening to Johnny Cash and other classic country artists. John was known for his unique humor, love for animals, kind heart, and admiration for his daughter, Madison. He truly was a gentle giant, who will be deeply missed by many.

He is survived by his daughters, Madison Ogden and Alexandra Kleinschmidt; Father, Richard Ogden and stepmother Shirley Ogden; sisters, Carol Ogden, Sandra (Sandy) Dombrowski; and brother, William (Bill) Ogden. He was preceded in death by his mother, Patricia Mitchell (Radloff).

Memorial will be held September 13th 2 PM at St. Johns Lutheran Church. 109 E. Kempf Court. Capac, Michigan.
