Thomas Mario Cisneros

Thomas Mario Cisneros, 71, passed away on April 14, 2026, in Wichita, Kansas, the city he called home for most of his life.

Thomas devoted over 40 years to Beechcraft, painting aircraft and eventually rising to crew chief. Outside of work, he was an outdoorsman at heart, fishing, hunting, boating, and traveling whenever he could. He loved a good western movie, had a passion for two-stepping, and a sense of style that was entirely his own, including a legendary head of hair.

He will be remembered most for his kindness and his humor, his quick wit and genuine delight in making the people around him laugh. He was strong-willed, deeply kind, and had an enormous heart. His family was his world.

He is survived by his wife Kim; his children Thomas, Marissa, and Joshua; his children-in-law Kelsey, Laurel, and Matt; his grandchildren Gabrielle, Abegale, Nora, Klaire, Kilian, and Karli; and his great-grandson Ozzy.

He will be remembered lovingly, always.
