Rev. William A. DIERKS

Six years after his death, Barbara and I often think of Pastor and speak of his kindness to us. As a mentor to me, he was instrumental in my decision to go into full-time church work. His influence on my ministry cannot be adequately explained. He was more than a mentor, though. Friend, golfing bud, camping pal, brother in Christ. We miss him. Over the years I have used his PKH3 illustration of Heaven. We know he and Patty have the reality of PKH3. Blessings to all his family.

I was stunned to hear that Pastor Dierks had been released from the bondage of this earth. Praise God for the great, goodness of His salvation!
Pastor was a beacon of Light; even though when driving with him - I thought I might be moving on towards the Light. LOL
As child he instilled in me, that it was my "duty" to return my loyalty to such a loving God. Pastor had a deep sense of loyalty to such a great God; we have in Christ Jesus! I know Pastor's family is so proud of all...

Dear Becky & family, What a privilege it was to have worked as church secretary all those years ago. Your dad and his concern for his flock and all who came through the church doors was most inspiring.

It was he who was responsible for getting my husband back to church.

It was a privilege to have known your dad.
He was truly one of God's messengers.

Condolences to all.

Thank you to the Dierks family for sharing Pastor with us all for so many years. It was a blessing to have him in my life.

It was with great sadness when I received the email of Pastor Dierks' passing. My sincere sympathy goes out to the Dierks family. Pastor was never too busy for anyone in need no matter the circumstance. He had a tremendous impact on the Staubitz family's spiritual life and the community of Milford. He confirmed my husband David as well as our sons Donald, Mark and Ken. Pastor also officiated our sons weddings and conducted memorial services for our parents. I sincerely appreciate all...

We are very sadened by the loss of Grandpa Dierks. He had an amazing character and such dedicated love for his family. He will be forever missed!

Dear Becky and family sorry to hear about your fathers passing away I know from experience the pain you are going through. It does get better but you will never fill the void left by him, I have found you just go on with life one day at a time and remember him because he would not have you sad
for a day.

Dear Patty, Art & Amy, Deborah & Eric, Mark & Christine, Becky & Ray, and the grandchildren,

Our deepest sympathies to you all. We are so saddened to hear of Pastor's untimely death. What a dedicated servant of God, family man and friend to all.

Our first encounter with Pastor was his visit to us shortly after we moved to Milford. Geoff was about two or three - Pastor came by the house with his "talking pick-up truck." Our memories include building the new sanctuary at...
