Thomas W. Kiessling

My Pastor, my friend, I will miss you. You poured a lot of love in us. May Good Lord comfort family.

We are so very sorry to hear of pastor Tom´s passing. During the time we were st IFC he was a constant influence in our lives. I am sure when our Lord met him , he heard "well done good and faithful servant"
He will always hold a place in our hearts.
Sincerely,
Michael and Doreen Sica

I will always smile when I remember Pastor Tom. He was a no nonsense man when it came to the things of God. His compassion, wisdom and gentle spirit touched everyone who knew him. His warm smile softened any tough situation you brought to him. Pastor Tom had a passion and commitment to his family that you wanted to model. His life exemplified Paul's admonishment, "Follow me as I follow Christ". He is already greatly missed. I pray God's supernatural peace and comfort will carry you through the difficult times and all the loving and fun times you've had will always remind you how much he adored each one of you. To Cheryl, Lauren, Melissa and Brian, thank you for sharing that incredible man with us.

I extend my deepest sympathy and prayers to the entire Kiessling family. I personally witnessed his faithfulness to the Lord and sat under his annointed teaching. Pastor Tom was a man of integrity, full of compassion and love for all of God's people. Always the same, he never changed in the 10+ years I attended formerly IFC. "And we know that to be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord..." May the many fun and enjoyable memories that have been captured throughout the years be forever in your hearts.

He has run the race; he has fought the good fight; he has finished the course; he has kept the faith. Now he was presented with the crown of righteousness and heard, "well done good and faithful servant." But Cheryl, Lauren, Melissa and Brian, be comforted knowing he is in the arms of our precious Lord, enjoying those "things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him."
I pray that God will bathe you in His love, peace and kindness as never before. Blessings.

So sorry to hear about Tom. Our condolences to Cheryl, Lauren, Melissa and Brian. For many years I sat under Pastor Tom´s ministry. He was always steady with a calm demeanor and an encouraging word. A solid Bible teacher and gifted speaker his ministry touched the hearts and lives of thousands. His eternal rewards will be great. This world is a little darker place without Pastor Tom. May the comfort of the Holy Spirit be with his family and friends.

A life well lived. You touched our lives and those of our children through your ministry

I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many amazing memories of him from when I was a kid. Mr. Kiessling was a great man, with a great heart for the Lord. I am very sad that he passed away, but I am so happy that he is with Jesus and that he is no longer suffering on Earth. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sad to hear about Tom's passing but also happy to know he is forever with our Lord, Savior, and King. Tom was the best man at my wedding and I was his best man too. So many great memories with Tom and Cheryl including shared vacations. My heart goes out to Cheryl and family.
