Thomas Michael Beiber

Thomas (Tom) Michael Beiber passed away July 17th, 2023 at Kansas City Hospice House, Kansas City, Missouri after a courageous battle with Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA), a rare form of Dementia.
He was born May 11, 1959 in Alliance, NE to Charles Eugene and Phyllis Jane (Wismiller) Beiber.
Tom graduated from St. Agnes Academy, Alliance, Nebraska in 1977. After graduation Tom began his career with Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railroad where he worked as a clerk and later as a locomotive electrician. He worked until his disability from PCA forced him to leave his job and so many people he loved to be around, in 2014. He officially retired in June 2019 with 41 years of service.
Tom married his wife, Deb (Jorgensen), on May 4, 1992 in Honolulu, Hawali. They spent most of their lives in Alliance surrounded by many friends and family. In 2016 Tom and Deb relocated to Kearney, Missouri where they enjoyed retirement and spending time with their grandchildren. They bought a home on a small golf course where Tom spent many days collecting lost golf balls, which soon became an obsession!
Tom loved fishing, hunting, and spending time with others. Anything that kept him outdoors was where he wanted to be, he loved all the seasons Nebraska had to offer. He also had another passion and that was watching the Huskers play football. Tom, the dog lover he was, loved training every dog he had to be his hunting partner and his best friend.
Tom is survived by his wife Deb, her son Jason (Natalie) Christoffersen, their sons Julian and Reese of Kearney, Missouri, sisters Jane Moss, Sue (Gary) Moeller, of Alliance, NE, Brother in-law Dylan Kyle, of Homestead, Florida, sisters-in-law Judy (Jerry) Hankins, of Frankston, Texas, Loni (Dave) Deines of Gering, Nebraska, brother-in-law Jim (Jamie) Jorgensen of Fremont, Nebraska and a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins and numerous nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.
