Melvin F. Niemeyer passed away on July 16, 2020, at the age of 81. He was the beloved husband of Virginia Niemeyer (nee Price) of Treloar.
He is survived by his two sons, Mark (Melissa) Niemeyer of O'Fallon and Matt (Kristie) Niemeyer of Alton, Ill.; brother, David (Virginia L.) Niemeyer; five grandchildren Ashley, Thea, Spencer, Luke and Grant; many nieces, nephews, and extended family.
Melvin was an active member of United Church of Christ of Holstein. He and Virginia were married on Oct. 26, 1974, in Krakow, Mo., and celebrated 45 years of marriage. He was a lifetime farmer in southern Warren County. He enjoyed attending his grandkids’ sports and dance recitals and gardening.
He was dearly loved by his sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren. He was kind, hardworking, generous, loving, and such an honorable man. He had a contagious laugh and a smile that would light up a room. His family finds comfort in knowing he is enjoying running around on strong knees in heaven with Jesus. "Papa Melvin" will be dearly missed.
