Frederick William Rondholz, 86, passed away peacefully on February 25, 2026, in Wichita, Kansas. He was born August 16, 1939, in Weehawken, New Jersey.

Fred proudly served his country in the United States Air Force for 26 years, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. While he valued his military service, he was most proud of his role as a husband, father, and grandfather.

He is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Ann Elaine Rondholz; his children, Christopher Rondholz and his wife Emily, Dawn Rondholz, Beth Schutte and her husband Clint, and Heather Rondholz; and his sisters, Anna M. Baber and Linda Canner. He is also survived by seven grandchildren who brought him great pride and joy.

Fred was a private man who valued family, loyalty, and quiet kindness. He was a good friend to those who knew him and, above all, a truly good man who will be deeply missed.
