Marc Thiry Obituary
He was a world-class reptile wrangler, amphibian connoisseur, and arachnid aficionado who could spin yarns so long, so rich, and so delightful that you would practically come away with a whole stack of sweaters after every conversation. Many of us spent many hours conversing with him in this fashion. He was a loving, kind, and generous "farm out" farmer who tended a herd of buffalo for many years. He will be dearly missed by all who truly knew him.
Services will be held on January 21, 2026, at 2:00 pm at Walnut Grove RV Park in Merriam, Kansas, and will continue with a celebration of life ceremony on his private property in Tonganoxie, Kansas, where his ashes will be interred alongside those of his wife and child. May they rest in peace forever!
