Kevin Rieschl Obituary

Was taken from us unexpectedly Christmas Eve, to be with our Lord. Kevin was a gentle soul; born May 16, 1989 and died December 24, 2011 (age 22). Beloved son of father, Mike (Nancy) Rieschl and mother, Rae Ann Andrea. Also survived by brother, Tom; step-brother, Ryan Sherry; step-sister, Nikole Sherry; grandparents, Florence Rieschl, Joyce and Karl Dingman; and niece, Lamika; aunts/uncles include: Robert Rieschl, Mary (Robert) Cincoski, Donna Rieschl, James (Ellen) Rieschl, Mike, Karl and Michelle Dingman; cousins, Rebecca Cincoski, Joseph (Danielle) Cincoski, Sarah Cincoski and others. Kevin is joining Grandpa George (Rieschl) in heaven to watch over us and will forever be missed by his family and friends. Kevin was soon to be a graduate at the University of Wisconsin Madison where he was studying world religions. He was a musician, able to play multiple instruments, was a voracious reader and enjoyed philosophical discussions. A Mass of Christian Burial and celebration of Kevin's life will be held at St. Pascal Baylon Catholic Church on January 5, 2012 at 10:30, 1757 Conway Street, St. Paul, MN, 55106.

Missing you Kevin

Dearest Rae Ann and Tommy, This world has lost a great soul. It has been many years since your boys were little, but I remember them both being the only thing in your world. I can't imagine the loss of such a beautiful little boy. May you find some peace and comfort knowing you raised such an amazing young man, even if his life was way too short for those who knew and loved him.
Godspeed, Jennifer Bertheussen-Chapman

Mike, I only met Kevin a couple of times but I know from talking to Nancy that he was a good student and gifted guitar player. I am so sorry at his passing. May God comfort you and help you through this difficult time.

Words can't express the depth of my sorrow for your family. I worked with Kevin at Sbarro's Pizza. He was a great kid and I'll always have fond memories of him. May God bless and comfort you all.

My love for Kevin was as deep as any could be. He was the light in my life, the sunshine in my days, and the stars in my sky. I will forever miss holding him in my arms, his beautiful smile, his gentle nature, his way of making me laugh and our long conversations.

I hope that someday we may be able to share those times again.

As Kevin's cousin, I didn't know him well but I experienced him as a sweet, creative boy. I do know that he had a wonderful father, Michael, who always went above and beyond to lovingly support his son.

My heart goes out to Michael, Tommy, my Aunt who helped raise Kevin, and all of the Rieschl family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
