Kenneth Kiesow

Kenneth Kiesow, 58, of Fall Creek, died Saturday, January 18 at his home.

Kenneth David was born June 9, 1966, son of David and Marianne (Sperber) Kiesow. He graduated from Fall Creek High School and from UW-Eau Claire with a degree in math and music.

Kenny had worked on the family farm, as a substitute teacher and was currently employed at Spectrum Industries in Chippewa Falls.

Kenny headed the election board for Lincoln Township for many years. His faith and membership at Zion Lutheran Church was also an important aspect of his life, having served as church elder, chairman, district and synod delegate.

Kenny was interested in genealogy and traced both sides of his family back to Germany. He was a member of the Eau Claire Genealogy Society and had served as president of the Wisconsin State Genealogy Society.

All throughout his life Kenny's love for music was obvious. He was instrumental in the formation and directed the With One Voice Community Choir. As a young boy he took up playing the tuba which peaked his interest in learning to play other brass instruments, also the piano and guitar. For 46 years he had been a member of the Eau Claire Municipal Band and President of the Chippewa Valley Concert Band.

Since 2001, he had played with the Northwoods British Brass Band in Rice Lake and also with the Jubilate Choir and Orchestra. During the holidays he had performed in a Tuba Christmas Concert and with the brass ensemble at Trinity Lutheran Church in Eau Claire. He was involved with the Ludington Guard Band in Menomonie and for the past three summers participated in the "Garding Against Cancer Benefit."

Kenny will be deeply missed by his parents, Dave and Marianne; brother, Klint Kiesow of Fall Creek; sister, Kristine (Timothy) Knudson of Strum; two nephews, Nicholas Kiesow and Kaine Knudson; aunts and uncles, Carol Thur of Menomonie, Gary and Marilyn Sperber of Chippewa Falls, Melody Sperber of Augusta; other relatives and many friends.

Kenny is reunited in heaven with his grandparents, Adolph and Alma Kiesow, Gaylord "John" and Ella Sperber.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday at Zion Lutheran Church 1286 S. 150th . Avenue Fall Creek, WI. Burial will be in the church cemetery.
