Timothy Raymond Oglesby, loving husband, dad, and “Grandpa/Pappo," departed for his eternal heavenly home on April 13, 2023, after a brief 
battle with pneumonia. Tim, the son of Freeman and Erma Delores “Buzzy” 
(Carpenter) Oglesby, was born on March 8, 1951, in Independence, Missouri
 but spent much of his childhood and adolescence in Ashland, Nebraska. 
He and his siblings David, Melissa, and Suzy enjoyed an adventurous 
youth, and the retelling of their exploits continue to entertain even 
decades later. They never let facts get in the way of a good story. &nbsp;

Tim graduated from Ashland High School in 1969 and began his college 
career at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he met his 
wife Connie Friedley over their shared love of worship. They wed in 
1971, and Tim continued his academic journey at the University of 
Nebraska in Lincoln, where he received a bnachelor’s degree in Music 
Education in 1974. Tim taught music briefly before discovering his 
charismatic personality lent itself perfectly to a career in sales, and 
he spent 30 years with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas. Tim and 
Connie welcomed their son Nicholas in 1981 and daughter Christina in 
1985. The young family attended The Father’s House Church in Hutchinson,
 where Tim and Connie continued sharing their love of music leading 
worship until Connie lost her lengthy battle with breast cancer in 1991.

Tim found his second chance at happiness when he met Jackie Ellis at 
church, and they joined their two families including Jackie’s son Luke 
and daughter Sarah in December 1992. Tim and Jackie’s spiritual journey 
led them to convert to Catholicism in 2013, and Tim went on to receive 
his Master’s in Theological Studies at Newman University in Wichita in 
2015. He created his catechism class “On Fire Catholic University,"&nbsp; which allowed him the opportunity to share his passion for the faith. 
When he wasn’t preparing for class, he loved connecting with family and 
friends and cheering on his beloved Huskers and Chiefs.

Tim leaves behind his wife Jackie, son Luke (Laura) Ellis, daughter 
Sarah (Eric) Horton, son Nicholas (Kari) Oglesby, and daughter Christina
 (Yancy) Young and all three of his siblings. He also leaves behind 11 
grandchildren – Landen, John, Lincoln, Abel, Genevieve, Shepherd, 
Guinevere, Sebastian, Callahan, Violet, and Hildegard. He was preceded 
in death by his parents, his first wife Connie, and granddaughter 
Samantha.

Teaching the faith sustained him all his life and he was a powerful 
witness to the love of the Lord, until he saw him face to face. To know 
Tim, was to be his family, he never met a person who stayed a stranger.&nbsp;
 Please join our family in celebrating Tim’s life with a Viewing and 
Visitation Tuesday, April 18th, from 4-6pm at the Inman Funeral Home in Inman, Kansas.&nbsp; His funeral services will be held Wednesday, April 19th,&nbsp; at St Teresa’s Catholic Church in Hutchinson, Kansas.&nbsp; Rosary will 
begin at 10:00am with Funeral Mass to follow at 10:30am.&nbsp; All will be 
live streamed on the Inman Funeral Home Facebook Page. Burial will 
immediately follow at the Lyons Municipal Cemetery, Lyons, KS. 

In lieu 
of flowers, the family asks memorials be sent to St. Teresa Catholic 
Church.&nbsp; To leave a condolence for the family, visit:&nbsp; www.inmanfh.com.
