MICHAEL GENE "MIKE" ROMME

Michael Gene “Mike” Romme, 59, passed away on March 4, 2026, in Kingman, Kansas, surrounded by the family he loved so deeply. Born on November 8, 1966, in Junction City, Mike was the son of Donald Michael and Drusilla Brantley Romme.

Although life took him many places, Mike’s heart was firmly rooted in Kingman, where he built not only a successful career but a full, generous, and joy‑filled life. As Vice President of Vendor Relations for Stanion Wholesale Electric Company, he was respected for his integrity, steady leadership, and the way he treated colleagues like lifelong friends.

Mike lived a life anchored in faith and service. He was an active member of St. Patrick Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus, and he proudly served on the board of The South Central Community Foundation. He also dedicated time volunteering with the Kansas Special Olympics, where he brought encouragement, compassion, and positivity to every athlete he met. His college years with the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity gave him friendships and memories he cherished throughout his life.

Mike was also a passionate sports fan. He proudly cheered for his beloved Kansas State Wildcats, and he was an unwavering supporter of Kingman athletics. You could always find him on the front row of Kingman Eagle football, basketball and baseball games, cheering, encouraging the players, and supporting the community he loved so much. Mike had a special gift for guiding and inspiring young people. He loved coaching youth football and poured his heart into helping kids learn the game, gain confidence, and feel supported.

On April 24, 2004, Mike married the love of his life, Danielle Freund in Bel Aire, Kansas. Together they created a home filled with laughter, devotion, and unwavering support. His greatest joy came from being a father—he was immensely proud of his daughter, Nicole, and his son, Donald.

He is survived by his wife, Danielle; his daughter, Nicole; his son, Donald; his mother, Drusilla; his brother, Dan Housholder (Tonya); his sister, Dawn Spainhour; and his uncle, Wayne Brantley (Jen). He is preceded in death by his father, Donald Michael Romme.

Mike will be remembered most for his big heart, his firm handshake, and his ability to make people feel valued. Whether coaching on the field, volunteering, exploring a National Park, or cheering from the front row at a local game, Mike lived a life that lifted others.

A parish rosary will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Kingman. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, March 11, followed by burial at Walnut Hill Cemetery in Kingman, Kansas.

In honor of Mike’s devotion to family and faith, memorials may be made to the St. Patrick Church Building Fund or South Central Community Foundation in memory of Mike. Donations may be sent to Livingston Funeral Home, 1830 N. Main, Kingman KS 67068.
