William Tejkl

ANGOLA - William "Bill" Frank Tejkl, 70, formerly of Sand Creek, Michigan, living in Angola, Indiana, passed away on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at his home in Angola.

He was born on Jan. 18, 1955, and was the son of John Tejkl and Charlotte (Mossing) Tejkl.

Bill was a veteran of the Vietnam era, where he served four years and another four years in the Reserves in the United States Air Force. The discipline and patriotism he learned in the Air Force never left him, as friends and family will attest.

He owned his own company, TMS, INC., as an Auditor & Quality Analyst. He trained more than 9,000 individuals in the up-to-date Management Systems and very few people in the world have his expertise. He was contracted by the government and private companies in countries like Europe, Mexico, Canada, and Asia, and along with corporations like Honeywell Inc., where his specialty was Aerospace and Defense Missile industries.

Bill's passion was taking long bike rides with Randy and Jim; and he enjoyed taking trips with his wife, Michelle

Bill is survived by this wife, Michelle; his daughters, Desiree (Nathan) Topper, of Brooklyn, Ohio, Kate (Austin) Monahan, of Mill Valley, California, Lauren Tejkl, of Boston Massachusetts, and Jennifer (Matt) Clark, of Fremont, Indiana; his brother, Ted (Kim) Powers, of Clinton, Michigan; three sisters, Helen Haury, of Bryan, Ohio, Karen (Todd) McMordie, of Devils Lake, Michigan, and Patty (Eric) Bubel, of Heath, Ohio. Also surviving are his two grandchildren, Netta and Hanophy; and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; and brother, John Tejkl
