Kenneth Niemeyer Obituary

Niemeyer, Kenneth Charles 72, After a long and courageous battle with cancer, went to be with God on November 10, 2008. He was born February 9, 1936 in the City of St. Louis. He was the son of the late Charles Herman and Elizabeth Ann Niemeyer. He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Shirley Marie Niemeyer; daughters Karin Marie Niemeyer and Angela Kay Niemeyer (Louis Joeseph Falletta); his son and wife Robert Dean and Lisa Jane Niemeyer and his grandson Robert Dean Niemeyer Jr. Ken was preceded in death by his son, Charles Thomas Niemeyer. Ken was a dear brother-in-law, uncle, cousin and friend too many. He served in the Army National Guard of Missouri, was a volunteer firefighter for 20 years and had a generous, giving spirit. His main occupation was as a computer systems analyst, although he did many things. His passions were fishing, relaxing with family and friends, bicycling, and being on the go. He was a man who never passed judgment and loved unconditionally. The Serenity prayer was his words to live by. He will be dearly missed by all. Kenneth donated his body to MedCure to further the science of medicine and to help others. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in memory of Ken to The American Cancer Society.

Ken is going to be missed by all that knew him and loved him. He is in a better place without pain and suffering. It will be VERY hard at first but as time goes on it turns into a dull ache. Will be thinking and praying for you, Shirley and the girls.
