Jack Leon Rexroad, 96, of Partridge, passed away December 1, 2020, at Hospice House, Hutchinson. While recovering from a bad fall, his family was told he was positive with COVID-19. He was born February, 10, 1924, in Hutchinson, to Fred and Nell (Metcalf) Rexroad.

Jack was a lifelong resident of the Partridge area. As he grew older, he helped his dad grow wheat, milo, and alfalfa on the family farm. Jack attended Partridge High School, where he met and fell in love with Virginia M. Dade. After he graduated in 1941, they were married on April 2, 1944, at the Partridge Community Church, becoming Mr. and Mrs. Jack and Virginia Rexroad. Almost three years later in 1947, their baby daughter was born. Jack and his family lived across the section from his parents’ farm, north of Partridge. He was a volunteer fireman of the Partridge area, a school board member for Partridge Grade School, and board member for the Partridge Co-op. Jack also drove one of the school buses. Even though he was afraid of high open spaces, he helped build the Partridge Co-op’s first elevator. Jack also loved hunting, fishing, and did trap and skeet shooting.

As his dad grew older, Jack took over the farming of his parents’ ground and in time moved back to the family farm, where he not only farmed the fields, but also raised the cattle.

Jack’s son-in-law and two grandsons helped him on the farm. That is where his grandsons learned to trap and skeet shoot. The south pasture was the home of the Partridge Trap and Skeet Range. He drove wheat trucks until a few years before his death.

At the time of his passing, Jack and his wife had been married over 76 years.

Jack is survived by wife, Virginia Rexroad; daughter, Susan Southards; grandson, Bret Southards; two great-grandsons; three great-granddaughters; and two great-great-grandsons.

He was preceded in death by his parents; grandson, Mark Southards; sister, Barbara Haines; and son-in-law, Bruce Southards.

Per Jack’s request, cremation has taken place. At a later date, a private family gathering will be held.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to the Partridge Community Church or American Diabetes Association, in care of Elliott Mortuary, 1219 N. Main, Hutchinson, KS 67501.
