Roger Abell, 61, of Orion, KS, died Tuesday, May 5, 2020, at his home. 
He was born August 1, 1958, to Robert and Marjorie Abell, and raised on 
the family farm in Gove County where he remained for most of his life. 


He was a 1977 graduate of Grinnell High School, and earned 
certifications in diesel mechanics from Goodland Vo-Tech. He went on to 
work for local Co-Ops, and spent a few years on the road with custom 
cutters, harvesting the Midwest. He retired from the Gove County Road 
Department in 2019 after several years of road-grading which he 
especially liked in the remote stretches of the county around the 
Monument Rocks area. 

He got a kick out of ‘educating’ tourists, which 
mainly included making up (mostly) tall tales of the wild frontiers of 
western Kansas. He enjoyed tinkering with engines and going to auctions,
 gun shows, and tractor expos, and the occasional railway tours through 
the mountains of Colorado. He was a long-time attendee and former board 
member of the Country Chapel Church outside Oakley, KS. 


He was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his siblings,
 Dwight (Rhonda) Abell, of Oakley, KS, Gordon (Stacy) Abell, of Olathe, 
KS, Cathleen Abell, of Holcomb, KS, and Charlotte Bailey, of Olathe, KS;
 and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. 


Cremation was chosen and no formal service will be held; the family will
 honor Roger in a private tradition on the ranch. For information or

Bernard Michael (Bernie) Adam, 67, of Garden City, passed from this life
 on May 6, 2020, after a long, courageous battle with cancer.


Bernie was born on January 11, 1953, in Plainville, KS.  The family 
moved to Esbon in 1956 where he went to school and worked on the family 
farm until they moved to Tipton in 1969. He completed his education at 
Tipton High School in 1971.  


After high school he started his lifelong work in construction and 
carpentry, eventually starting Bernard Adam Construction in Garden City.
  He found a true passion in helping people when he became the Housing 
Program Coordinator at the Center for Independent Living in Garden City 
for three years.  He built and remodeled many homes and businesses in 
Garden City and the surrounding area throughout the years and did 
beautiful work.


He married the love of his life, Mary Bergmann, in 1978 and moved to 
Garden City where they built a beautiful home and had three wonderful 
children, Katie, Kelsie, and Joseph.  


He is survived by his wife, Mary and children Katie Bird and husband 
Jeff of Rose Hill, KS, Kelsie McMillan and husband Brandon of Hays, KS, 
and Joseph of Kansas City, MO, his brother John Adam and wife Albertha 
of Salina, sister Kathryn Burghart and husband Bernie of Salina, sister 
Tilly Kirchner of Charlotte, NC, brother Ed Adam and wife Judy of 
Tipton, brother Jack Adam of Des Moines, Iowa, sister Suzie Talbert of Pasadena, CA, Barb Reinert and husband 
Alan of Wichita, along with numerous nieces, nephews and extended 
family.  He is also survived by four grandchildren that he loved dearly:
 Aiden, Sophia, Hailey, and Addyson.  


He was preceded in death by his parents Ben and Bertha Adam, sister 
Lenora Mick, sister Margaret Henry, brother Charles Adam, sister Loretta
 Murray, sister Mary Sharrow, and sister Caroline Whittecar. 


He was a member of St. Dominic Catholic Church and also served on the 
Property Commission as well as a Third Degree member of the Knights of 
Columbus.  


He enjoyed hunting and fishing with family and friends, vintage 
automobiles, and collecting coins.  His favorite way to spend a weekend 
would be attending an auction followed by an Old Western marathon, with 
Church and NASCAR on Sunday.  Bernie will be remembered for his strong 
faith in God, his courage, his amazing ability to fix anything, and his 
sense of humor that came out at the most unexpected moments.  He will be
 missed and remembered by everyone who knew him.


At an appropriate time, a Memorial Mass will be held at St. Dominic Catholic Church in Garden City.  


In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting memorials be given to St. 
Dominic Catholic Church, Hospice of St. Catherine Hospital, or the 
Heartland Cancer Center, all in Garden City and all in care of Garnand 
Funeral Home of Garden City.
