Lex Holzrichter Obituary (1955

Alex "Lex" Donley Holzrichter was born at Epworth Hospital in Liberal, Kansas on January 20th, 1955 to Ned and Donna Holzrichter. He passed away on September 28th, 2024 surrounded by loved ones. He was the second-born in the Holzrichter family, and as the only boy, he took his unique place in the family with pride, humor, and perhaps a little bit of indulgence. He spent his life in the Oklahoma Panhandle, graduating from Hooker High School and continuing his education at Oklahoma Panhandle State University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. It was during his time at OPSU that Alex met the love of his life, Barbara Jean Richardson. They married on January 8, 1977, beginning a lifetime of partnership, laughter, and adventure. Together, they raised three daughters, Alexis, Erin, and Samantha. As a father, Lex was deeply devoted, and his daughters were the joy of his life. He took great pride in watching them grow into strong, independent women, each with her unique path. After college, Lex went to work for his grandad, Alex Hofferber, at Hofferber Truck Lines. For the last 19 years, he has been a loyal employee of Groendyke Trucking. Lex had a great love of movies, music, and golf, but his greatest love was for his family. He deeply loved his girls, cherishing every moment with them, whether watching movies, sharing his ridiculous, funny stories, or simply being there. However, it was his role as "Pop" to his eight grandchildren that truly lit up his life. Pop's playful spirit and unwavering love created a bond with his grandchildren that they will carry forever. Lex is survived by his wife Barbara Holzrichter, his daughters and their families, Alexis Holzrichter, Erin (Aaron) Ellis, Samantha (Bryen) McConnell, his eight grandchildren, Rex, Vivian, Pierce, Margaret, Lane, Juniper, Eleanor, and Emmett, his mother Donna Holzrichter, his three sisters, Pamela Grout, Candace Holzrichter, and Paula Nisi, his Aunt Sandra Hofferber, his mother-in-law Margery Carter, his twelve nieces, two nephews, and numerous beloved relatives and friends.
