Nathan D. Rofe, 33, of Kenton, Ohio, passed away surrounded by his loving family on February 2, 2026, joining his Lord and Savior after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Nathan was born on March 24, 1992, in Columbus, Ohio, to Cheri McSheffery and Ron Rofe. 

Nathan is survived by his three children, Eric, MaKenzie, and Dimitri; his parents, Cheri McSheffery and John Wilson of Springfield, and Ron and Melissa Rofe of Kenton; siblings, Morgan (James) Massara, Shane (Kelsey) Rofe, and Laura (Garrett) Ray; grandparents, Syd and Beth McSheffery, and Gary Scott; and many uncles, aunts, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Raymond and Janette Rofe, and Glenda Scott. 

Nathan graduated from Kenton Ridge High School in 2011.

He was a proud U.S. Army Veteran, serving as an Infantryman at Schofield Barracks, Oahu, Hawaii.

Among his hobbies, Nathan enjoyed disc golf, hunting and fishing, coaching his children's youth sports, working on projects with his dad, and watching sports, especially Penn State football and the Cincinnati Bengals.

He was a beloved father, son, brother, grandson, uncle, and friend who would go out of his way to help anyone in need. He was a true man of God and service.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, February 14, 2026, at 11:00 A.M. at Lima Community Church. A visitation and luncheon among family and friends will follow. The Price-McElroy Funeral Home in Kenton is assisting the family with the arrangements.
