Eugene was born January 14, 1947 in Sauk Centre, Minnesota to Henry and Bertha (Wessel) Theisen. He attended Burtrum Elementary School and graduated from Grey Eagle High School. After high school he served in the National Guard before he was honorably discharged. He was united in marriage to Marilyn Friese on July 17, 1971. Eugene, along with his two brothers, operated two dairy farms. Eugene was the mechanic who could fix and repair any machinery needed. He could overhaul any tractor back in the day. They also did some custom sawing over the years. The three brothers constructed all of the buildings on the two farms.
Survivors include his children, David (Ginene) Theisen of Sauk Centre, Christine (Bruce) Sales of Burtrum, Michael (Aleisha) Theisen of Minneapolis, Jeremy Theisen of Burtrum and Matthew (Janelle) Theisen of Woodbury; five grandchildren, Jordan, Haileigh, Ryan, Luke and Reid; two great-grandchildren, Hudson and Jayden; siblings, Leroy Theisen (Helen Schwagel) of Burtrum, Rita (Jesse) Erickson of Ottertail, Edward Theisen of Burtrum and Karen Sauer (Loren Johnson) of Ponsford; and several nieces and nephews.
Eugene was preceded in death by his wife, Marilyn in 2006; parents; sister, Marcella Schloegl; brother-in-law, Warren Schloegl; nieces, Nicole Schloegl, Jodi Schloegl and Tracy Frost; and nephews, Gerald Theisen and Eric Schloegl.
Dad's later years were spent at Henneman's Country Care. We would like to thank Don Henneman and his family and staff for the wonderful care they provided.
