J Siedelmann

J Randy Siedelmann was born on April 24, 1953 to Eldonn and Shirley (Hocamp) Siedelmann in Guthrie Center, Iowa. He was raised in Casey and graduated from Adair-Casey High School with the class of 1971.

J worked several jobs throughout his life, his last being at Schafer Systems in Adair. It was while working at Schafer Systems he met Olivia Nino. The couple married on July 26, 1998 at The Little Brown Church in Nashua, Iowa. J took in Olivia's children as his own. He loved being a step-dad teaching and helping them anyway he could.

He loved telling and pulling jokes, doing his "Thomas Kinkade" puzzels and telling stories and sharing his experiences. J also enjoyed vacationing with his family and especially his "roadtripping" with Olivia and sightseeing.

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we share this sad news that our beloved J Randy Siedelmann passed away on November 19, 2024. J will always hold a special place in our hearts.
