John Donald Roseboom
John Donald Roseboom, age 80, passed away Sunday July 7, 2019 at his home in Rochester.
John was born May 3, 1939 to Percy and Blanch (Hayes) Roseboom in Rochester. He married Carol Toogood on July 9, 1960. They raised their two sons in Rochester. John was a retired heavy equipment operator. He worked over 40 years for Doyle Conner Construction. In the 1950’s John was a successful boxer – flyweight division – for the VFW team. He enjoyed hunting with family and friends, fishing, playing golf, going to the farm, and watching sports. He stayed busy tinkering with his plants and yard decorations and “making the rounds” to give a little grief to many lifelong friends. You could hear him before you saw him!
John is survived by his two sons, Dale (Sue Trogstad) and Donny (Anita); four grandchildren, Danielle, Ryan, Matt, and Pete (Danelle); two great-grandchildren, Peter and Emma; sisters, Lavonne VanSchaick, Pat (Jerry) Wondrow, Sue (Don) Diver; brother, Mike; and special friend, Karen.
John was preceded in death by his wife, Carol; parents; stepmother, Lois; and two brothers, Jim and Ray.
A visitation will be held from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 14th in the River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home in Rochester. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, July 15th in the River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home with Rev. Woody Roland officiating. A visitation will also be held one hour prior to the service on Monday.
Condolences
The family of John Donald Roseboom has received the following condolences.
Dale, Donny and Roseboom family,
I am sorry that we missed the memorial services. Uncle John meant a lot to me and my family. He was such a great help to my mother (Ruth) when she was selling her house and moving. John was a wonderful brother-in-law and friend to her. We loved his laugh and good natured attitude. RIP Uncle John. And may his family remember him laughing and cracking jokes...I sure will!
Steve & Leanne (Annie to him;) Andreasen
It is so hard to find out when a close friend and one hell of a man’s life comes to an end. John was always there to give a helping hand if you needed one. He will truly be missed by myself and many others. Until the day comes when we meet again, RIP John Roseboom.
We would like to express our Deepest Condolences. Your father was a great friend of my father, James Skelly. I share your pain, as we lost dad in January of 2018. Please know that my family and Mother, (Marlene), will keep you in our prayers.
The family of James Skelly

Dale,Donnie and Roseboom family. We are so sorry for your loss. Sending hugs and our deepest condolences. Sincerely Jim and Annetta Bauer.
We will miss you John ! You were quite a guy !
I'vet known Tomato Johnny forever. Remember him being a ball player, golfer fisherman,hunter, and great back hoe operator. Always fun to be around and a good talker. He'll be missed.
John was one of a kind! He and my dad were the best of friends. They shared countless laughs together, and were constantly competing to see who could give each other the most grief! I imagine they're up there laughing and bickering with the best of them!
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
John was a lot of fun to be with, we had many years of softball together over the years. And a lot of good memories. He will be missed
