William Roger Fliger, known affectionately as Bill to his friends and family, passed away peacefully on October 18, 2024, in Elma, Iowa, at the age of 66. Born on June 7, 1958, in New Hampton, Iowa, the son of Russell and Clydene (Weaklen) Fliger.
Bill was a proud graduate of New Hampton High School in 1977. After completing his education, he dedicated 36 years of service to Chickasaw County, where he was not just a loyal and dependable worker who enjoyed working with his colleagues.
Bill was a man of simple pleasures and profound passions. His love for the outdoors was more than a hobby—it was a vital part of his existence. He could often be found observing the beauty of Canadian Geese and ducks and other wildlife in their natural habitats, a pastime that brought him immense joy and tranquility. He also found great pleasure from his interaction with many friends and acquaintances in the New Hampton and Chickasaw County area.
A lifelong lover of cars, Bill’s enthusiasm for automobiles was evident to all who knew him. Many summers were spent with his family in Wabasha, where he took great delight in watching the barges and boats navigate the waters.
Bill is survived by his sister, Susan (Dennis) Peters; one nephew, Jeff (Carlie); one great-nephew, Collin; special Fliger cousins; Andy and Dan along with many other cousins; two aunts, Jeananne Johnson of Laurel, MT, and Enola Fliger of Everett, WA.
He was preceded in death by his parents Russell & Clydene Fliger; one brother, Ricky Fliger; grandparents, Louis & Nellie Fliger and Lavona & Carl Maxson.
Bill was a kind soul that in my experience never said a negative thing about anyone.
He will be missed. With love: Mark, Laurie & kids.
