Daniel Joseph Rogert

Daniel Joseph Rogert was born May 9, 1973 in Omaha, Nebraska to Rodney and Margaret (Hotchkiss) Rogert. Dan grew up in Waterloo, Nebraska where he attended District 15 grade school and graduated from Valley High School in 1991. After high school, Dan earned his Associate’s degree in Aeronautical Mechanics from Iowa Western Community College in 1993. Growing up, Dan enjoyed driving his Hot Wheels in the dirt, riding his Big Wheel down hills really fast, taking fishing trips to Canada, and participating with the Explorers through the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. Dan married Nichole Jaskiewicz at Lord of Love Lutheran Church in Omaha, Nebraska on May 23, 1998. Dan and Nichole raised their three children: Tyler, Madisyn, and Mason, at their home near Waterloo. Dan has worked in the sand and gravel business, as well as being a shop manager and fleet manager for S2 in Fremont, Nebraska. He was active with the Victory Masonic Lodge in Valley, Nebraska and the Grand National Quail Club. Dan was a hard-working, giving, family-centered, humorous and supportive man. He was a big Husker fan, but his favorite color was green. He liked many genres of music, but especially liked The Eagles. He enjoyed steak and seafood or a La Casa pizza, and enjoyed sipping a Peach Crown and 7-Up. He loved going fishing and hunting, or working on fixing up the Mustang. Time spent with family and friends was always special to Dan. He cherished his wedding with Nichole and watching their three kids grow up, and was moved when he received his dad’s Mustang for a Christmas gift. He always put his family first, and could be full of surprises, like the time Nichole took the kids on vacation, but Dan flew in to surprise them in Texas after being unable to go. Or when he bought Nichole new wicker furniture for Mother’s Day, and had the kids outside eating berries on the furniture when she first saw it. Dan will be remembered as the type of man that was always there to help you, and never expected any payback. Dan passed away suddenly on January 12, 2023 at the age of 49 years, 8 months, and 3 days. He was preceded in death by his father Rodney Rogert, grandparents Don & Lois Rogert and George & Francis Hotchkiss. Dan is survived by his wife Nichole Rogert, his children: Tyler Rogert, Madisyn Rogert, and Mason Rogert, his mother Margaret Milone, sisters Sandy & Allan Wlaschin and Susan Rogert, mother-in-law Jackie Jaskiewicz, brother-in-law John & Cheryl Jaskiewicz, and several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. Visitation will be Wednesday January 18th 2-7 PM at Reichmuth Funeral Home, Elkhorn, with family receiving friends from 5-7 PM and a Masonic Service at 7 PM. Funeral services will be 10:30 AM Thursday January 19th at Lutheran Church of the Master, West Campus. Interment at Prospect Hill Cemetery of Elkhorn.
