William Rodasky

Jan 5, 1964 -

Mar 9, 2020

Bill was a beloved husband, son, brother and friend who passed away on Monday, March 9, 2020, of natural causes, while at work in Pt. Thompson.

He was born on Jan. 5, 1964, in Missouri Valley, Iowa, to Kenneth and Coradene Rodasky. Bill was an adventurer from a young age. As a young man, he enlisted and served in the U.S. Air Force as a Security Police Military Working Dog Handler. While in the Air Force, Bill traveled the world and took part in many missions in support of the Secret Service and was especially proud to have protected George W. Bush among other dignitaries. His former squadron members remember him as companionate, knowledgeable and an outstanding mentor to many young airmen.

After his honorable discharge, Bill entered civilian life working for the Hilton Hotel in Anchorage, Alaska, where he rapidly rose to operations management. It was while working at the Hilton that Bill met Dora Juarez, and they married in 2008. Bill and Dora resettled in South Dakota while Bill went on to another successful career in the remote oil fields of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.

Bill liked the service industry and, in the following years, won several industry leadership awards. He continued this tradition when he joined NANA Management Services and later, Ice Services as Camp Operations Manager. Bill was very well-thought-of by the clients, his co-workers and his employees.

Bill had many passions. He enjoyed racing cars as well as chainsaw wood carving. Football was another passion that Bill took to a whole other level; the Denver Broncos had no bigger superfan than Bill.

Bill was an avid hunter and looked forward to meeting up with good friends in Alaska and the Lower 48. He loved the comradery of hunt camp as well as the outdoors.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Dora; son, Michael; parents, Kenneth and Coradene Rodasky; sister, Mary; and brother, Daniel.

A visitation will be held at Janssen's Evergreen Memorial Chapel, 737 E Street, at 1 p.m., with a following reception at 3 p.m.

Until we meet again.
