Rolland J Schlessman

Rolland "Rollie" John Schlessman
December 14, 1938 – September 16, 2025

Rolland “Rollie” John Schlessman, 86, of Huron, Ohio, passed away peacefully on the evening of Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at Stein Hospice, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on December 14, 1938, he was the son of Edward and Berneita Schlessman. Rollie lived in Huron his entire life, dedicating himself to farming from a young age. He often said he was fortunate to have a profession he truly enjoyed—it never felt like work. Rollie was the hardest-working man, and he poured his heart into both his farm and his family. He leaves behind not only the work of his hands but a legacy of love, integrity, and determination that will continue to inspire all who knew him.

Rollie is survived by his beloved wife, Myrna Schlessman; his children: Dale (Cindy) Schlessman, Keith (Diane) Schlessman, Thomas (Amy) Schlessman, and Lisa Chill (Mike); and five cherished grandchildren: Ashlee Schlessman-Joseph (Christopher), Allison Doerner (Chris), Alex Schlessman (Brittany), Aaron Schlessman (Allissa), and AddieLynn Hoffman.

He is also survived by his great-grandchildren: Parker, Thea, Oliver, Henry, and Jane, as well as his two brothers: David Schlessman and Kenneth Schlessman.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Janet Schlessman; his parents, Edward and Berneita Schlessman; his brother Denver Schlessman; and his sister-in-law Mary K. Schlessman.

Rollie was a proud member of the Army Reserves and a longtime member of St. John Lutheran Church in Sandusky, Ohio.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, September 20, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., followed by a funeral service at St. John Lutheran Church, located at: St. John Lutheran Church 106 Scheid Road Sandusky, Ohio 44870
