Anthony “Tony” Wayne Ogle, a cherished soul known for his kind heart and unwavering spirit, passed away in his hometown of Fort Scott, Kansas, on November 4, 2025, at the age of 56. Born on February 28, 1969, to the late Burton Wayne Ogle and Daisy Ruth Duerson Ogle, Tony’s life was a testament to the values of love, dedication, and joy that he inherited from his beloved parents.
Tony was a proud graduate of Fort Scott High School, class of 1987. His pursuit of knowledge and passion for helping others led him to continue his education at Pittsburg State University, where he honed his skills and prepared for a life of service and community involvement. His professional journey was marked by his commitment to the local school district, USD 234, where he made significant contributions to the educational landscape. His work ethic and dedication also shone brightly during his time with Coke and Superior, where he was not just an employee but a friend and mentor to many.
A devoted fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Royals, Tony’s enthusiasm for sports was infectious. He found joy in the roar of the crowd and the thrill of the game. His love for dirt track racing and bowling also occupied much of his leisure time, where he was not just a spectator but an active participant, sharing his passion with friends and family alike.
Those who knew Tony will remember him as the embodiment of kindness. His gentle demeanor, warm smile, and ability to make anyone feel valued left a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of crossing his path. Tony’s legacy is not merely in the roles he played or the achievements he accomplished, but in the countless lives he touched with his generous spirit and compassionate nature.
As we bid farewell to Anthony “Tony” Wayne Ogle, we celebrate a life beautifully lived and a journey completed with grace. His memory will be cherished and kept alive in the stories shared, the laughter remembered, and the profound impact he had on his community and beyond. Tony’s presence will be deeply missed, yet his spirit will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him.
