Rest in Peace Kieth

Kieth John Koehn, 44, died Monday, Oct. 13, 2008, at his home in Overland Park.

He was born June 1, 1964, in Garden City, to John W. and Valetta F. Nichols Koehn. He grew up on the family farm north of Sublette, graduated from high school there in 1982, attended Kansas State University and later graduated from DeVry University with a bachelor's degree in computer science.

Mr. Koehn had been employed by Trailblazer Installation.

In September 1986, he married Julie Saul. They later divorced.

Survivors include his parents, of Sublette; two sons, Jonathon Maxwell Koehn of Lawrence, and Anthony Thomas Koehn of Overland Park; a brother, Wendall Koehn of Wellsville; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his grandparents.

Funeral was Thursday at Wilson's Funeral Home in Wellsville, with burial in Wellsville Cemetery.

I worked with Kieth at both UMB and American Century. I hired him and was his boss for a short time at UMB. He hired me and was my boss for short time at American Century. He was good guy and very smart. It is very sad to see him gone at such a young age.

Rest in Peace Kieth.
