James (Jim) Edwin Schoenbeck

Timothy Lee Siefkes, loving husband, dad, and “Papa,” died on 
February 13, 2022. Tim, son of Kenneth Lee and Joyce (Metz) Siefkes, was
 born on November 19, 1955, in Junction City, Kansas. He lived an 
adventurous childhood with his brother and sisters and loved spending 
time with his extended family in Hudson, where his parents were raised. 
Tim was a proud Eagle Scout, and some of his favorite times growing up 
were with his Boy Scout troop, led by his dad, exploring remote areas of
 Canada and the mountains of Montana and Colorado. Colorado always held a
 particularly special place in Tim’s heart, where he hiked several 
14ers, and vacationed most summers throughout his life with family and 
friends.

Tim’s dad also influenced his love of science, from geology to 
astronomy. Often joking that he was like Cliff Clayburn from “Cheers,” 
Tim proclaimed to have a “vast knowledge of useless information,” and 
was always reading and learning. When Tim was in 8th grade, 
he moved with his family a few houses down the street from Andrea Bowen,
 and told himself he would marry her someday! They were friends at 
Buhler High School, where Tim was the kicker on the football team, and 
Andrea cheered the team on as president of the Pep Club. Tim’s love of 
photography flourished as he filmed the football teams at HCC and later 
at Ft. Hays State University, where he graduated with a degree in Art 
and Photography. Despite attending different colleges, Tim and Andrea 
reconnected and began dating their senior year, and were married in the 
summer of 1980!

Tim spent most of his career at General Laboratories, where he used 
his drafting skills and certifications as a Fire &amp; Explosion 
Investigator and Private Investigator, in a forensic engineering 
capacity. In 2008, Tim joined his father-in-law and brother-in-law’s 
company, Premiere Oil &amp; Exploration Inc., as Oil Production Manager.
 Tim also owned and operated Sunflower Video Productions for 25 years, 
videotaping over 600 weddings and many events around the community.

Tim was an involved parent, never missing an athletic event, music 
performance, or dance recital.&nbsp; Tim’s enthusiasm for attending his 
daughters’ tennis meets waned a bit when he was told that spectators 
have to be quiet during the matches. He was proud to be President of the
 Buhler High Booster Club during Courtney and Amy’s high school years.&nbsp; 
When his daughters took off to K-State for college, Tim became an avid 
football fan and season ticket holder.&nbsp; He loved fixing food for the 
tailgates, especially his famous smoked brisket, chili, and grilled 
hamburgers.

Tim cherished his friends, both from childhood and those he made as 
an adult. In his younger days Tim enjoyed playing softball, where he was
 known to hit homeruns over the Fun Valley fence. Later in life he took 
up golfing, smoking cigars by the campfire, talking politics, and eating
 barbeque with his friends, who were always up to some kind of 
Seinfeld-influenced shenanigans.&nbsp; Tim appreciated the friendships he 
made at church, including the Life Group he and Andrea were a part of.

Tim is survived by: his loving wife, Andrea; daughter, Courtney 
Siefkes, Austin, TX, daughter, Amy Messer (Travis), Gardner; 
grandchildren, Hadley and Bennett Messer, Gardner; stepmother, Carol 
Siefkes, Louisburg; siblings, Kelly Siefkes (Diane), Hutchinson, Tammy 
Metzler (Mike), Goddard, and Julie Siefkes, Wichita; and numerous 
nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Tim was preceded in death by: his parents, Ken and Joyce Siefkes, 
sister, Kerry Stevens; and parents-in-law, Ralph and Shirley Bowen.

A Celebration of Life service will be held 11 a.m. Friday, February 
25, 2022, at First Church of the Nazarene, 4290 N. Monroe, Hutchinson. 
For those wishing to view online, the service will be livestreamed on 
the church’s website: hutchfirstnaz.org.

Friends may sign his memorial book from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday thru 
Thursday, with the family present to receive friends from 5-7 p.m. 
Thursday at Elliott Mortuary.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to the church or 
Kansas Honor Flight, in care of Elliott Mortuary, 1219 N. Main, 
Hutchinson, KS 67501.
