Obituary for Adam James Thiessen | Yazel-Megli Funeral Homes (ymzfh.com)

March 3, 1986 ~ June 15, 2021 (age 35)

Adam was born to Wilmer and Alvera (Classen) Thiessen on March 3, 1986, in Newton, Kansas.  He graduated from Berean Academy in 2005 and attended one year at Frontier School of the Bible in LaGrange, Wyoming. There he met Jenna Eliza Nageotte and they were married on July 21, 2007 in Guysmills, Pennsylvania.

Adam enjoyed the outdoors, working with cattle, and riding horses. His dream from little on was to have a ranch someday. Beyond the normal duties of operating a ranch, he enjoyed woodworking, welding, and being a member of the NRA.

Living and working on the ranch provided him with one of his greatest joys: spending time with his wife and kids. He trusted Jesus as his Savior when he was five years old and was baptized at Emmaus Church as a youth. As an adult, he and his family attended Hope Community Church.

His loving family includes his wife Jenna; children Wyatt (12), Daniel (9), Cole (8), and Jeannette (5) Thiessen all of the home; parents Wilmer and Alvera Thiessen, brothers and their wives Doug and Crystal Thiessen, Joe and Charisa Thiessen all of the Whitewater area; sister and her husband, Karen and Chad Williams of Atlantic, Iowa and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Adam passed away Tuesday, June 15, 2021 at the age of 35 years old.

His family will gather to greet friends on Tuesday, June 22 from 9:30-10:30 a.m. with a memorial service following at 11:00 a.m. This celebration of life will be held at Hope Community Church, 1831 E, 21st Street, Andover, Kansas 67002.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to The Adam Thiessen Children’s Memorial Fund in care of Community National Bank and Trust, 207 N. Washington, Burns, Kansas 66840.
