Obituary - Dean Vogrin

Farley Dean Vogrin was born August 9th, 1958, in Wichita, KS to Flo Ann Miller and Phillip J Vogrin. He attended school in Tonganoxie, KS, where he enjoyed playing every sport he could-but especially loving track and football. After attending college, he moved to Dallas, Texas where he met his future wife Tracy while out at a club. The two would marry on February 14th, 1992, and would have two daughters: Delani Ann Vogrin, born June 24th, 1993, and Halle Marie (Vogrin) Roberts, born May 22nd ,1997.

The family would move to Garden City, Missouri in 1999, and would remain there for the rest of their time together. Dean enjoyed watching his girls grow up, sharing family vacations to Branson and attending NFL autograph signings with them. He and Tracy spent many happy years together, welcoming everyone from neighborhood kids to an array of pets into their home.

Sadly, Tracy preceded Dean from this world on August 24th, 2020. He is survived by his father, Phillip J Vogrin, both his daughters, and his granddaughters: Jaylen Jett Wilson, and Rylee Tracy-Sue Roberts.

Dean was very extroverted and kindhearted and was known to put everyone else’s needs before his own. He followed football with a passion, particularly The Raiders, and was known for his in-depth passion for the sport and its statistics.

He passed from this life on September 4th, 2024 in his home. If one thing could be said about Dean Vogrin, it was that he loved his daughters and wife dearly and will be truly missed.

A Celebration of Life Visitation will be held 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, September 11, 2024 at Dickey Funeral Home, Harrisonville, Missouri.

The family suggest that memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude's Children's Hospital and may be sent in care of the Dickey Funeral Home, P. O. Box 432, Harrisonville, Mo, 64701.

Watch Out for Scam Involving Letters from ‘Tax Processing Unit’

Mid America Live recently received information that scam artists continue to target Missouri taxpayers with a scam involving letters from the "Tax Processing Unit." 

The letters make threats, including the seizure of taxpayers' property unless they immediately pay back taxes.

This recurring scam has been reported to the department several times in recent years. It follows a common strategy that involves scam artists posing as a public official or a government entity. The goal is to cause confusion and use high-pressured tactics to swindle money from unsuspecting victims.
