Stanley Bruce Tietjens, aged 78 of rural Robinson, KS, peacefully passed away on September 17, 2024, after a long battle with cancer. Born on August 15, 1946, Stanley was known for his hardworking and generous nature. He took pride in always leaving things better than he found them.

A lifelong farmer in Brown County, Stanley dedicated 37 years to the Robinson Fire Department and with his brother Dennis, was renowned for their years of soil conservation work. Countless miles of drainage tile and dirt work have improved agriculture in the area thanks to their hard work. He loved nature, trees, and watching things grow. With his wife Sharon, he enjoyed traveling the country. Some of his favorite trips were to New York City where they enjoyed “people watching”. He always put needs of others ahead of his own, never complaining.

Stanley is survived by his wife, Sharon; stepdaughters, Kelli Holthaus and her husband Roger, and Misty Collins and her husband Matthew; eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; brothers, Dennis Tietjens and his wife Wanda, and Terry Tietjens, Clint Tietjens; nephew, Matt Tietjens and his wife Roni, their boys Luke and Will; a niece, Patricia English, her husband Hank, their son Jack. He was preceded in death by his brother Jerry Tietjens and parents, William and Estella Tietjens.

A private family service will be held to honor Stanley's life at Rose Hill Cemetery, Robinson.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to NEK Hospice, in care of Chapel Oaks Funeral Home.

Special thanks to the staff of NEK Hospice and Vintage Park of Hiawatha for the work they do. His legacy of generosity and service will live on through the lives he touched.
