Dwayne Jay Niedfeldt

  Dwayne Jay Niedfeldt, 61, passed away at his home in Wamego, Kansas on November 2, 2024.

  Dwayne was born on June 25, 1963, in Westmoreland, Kansas, to Marvin and Dorothy (Strimple) Niedfeldt. He lived a life dedicated to his family, farm, and the people around him.

  A graduate of Wamego High School, class 1983, Dwayne embraced the calling of a lifelong working farmer, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to the family farm. No job was too small or too big for him to tackle, whether milking cows or caring for cattle.

  Beyond his work, Dwayne found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He adored racing through the scenic countryside on his four and three-wheelers. Family gatherings were made brighter with his presence, particularly those festive occasions where he would delight everyone with an assorted cheese tray. Known for his thoughtfulness, he had a wonderful ability to remember and celebrate each family member's birthday.

  Dwayne was a kind soul, always ready to offer a gentle word or a warm smile to everyone he met. An active member of the Immanuel Faith Community Church Wells Creek, Belvue, Kansas, he cherished the fellowship he shared with others, attending weekly service and most church events. Dwayne looked forward to Friday evening pitch games with the community group at the schoolhouse close to the farm for nearly forty years.

  Dwayne is lovingly remembered by his siblings Randy Niedfeldt of Wells Creek, Kansas, and brother-in-law Rick Shoe of Glendale, Arizona. He leaves behind nieces and nephews, Michelle Broky of Perry, Kansas, Tyrel Niedfeldt (Victoria) of Wamego, and Trevor Niedfeldt (Stacey) of Wamego, along with his great-nieces and nephews: Nautami, Zyrain, Cooper, Zachary, Bensyn, and Brayen. He holds a dear place in the hearts of friends, neighbors, and extended family members.

  Dwayne joins his dear parents, brothers James and Kevin, sister Terry Shoe, sister-in-law Connie Niedfeldt, nephew James Shoe, aunts and uncles in eternal rest.

  Visitation will take place on November 12, 2024, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Campanella & Stewart Funeral Home, Wamego, Kansas. Funeral services will be held on November 13, 2024, at 10:30 am at Immanuel Faith Community Church Wells Creek, Belvue, Kansas. Burial to follow at Immanuel Faith Community Church Wells Creek Cemetery. The family suggests memorial contributions to the Immanuel Faith Community Church Wells Creek.

  Dwayne Jay Niedfeldt was more than a farmer; he was a gentle spirit whose kindness and warmth touched everyone he met. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.
