Jesus, I trust in You! Jesus, I trust in You! Jesus, I trust in You!
Timothy Roy Oberle, 56, died peacefully surrounded by family on February 25th, 2025 in Hutchinson, Kansas. He was born on August 13th, 1968 in Hutchinson to John and Nadine Oberle.
Tim graduated Trinity Catholic High School in 1986. He married his high school sweetheart, Shawna L. (King) Oberle, at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in South Hutchinson on February 17th, 1989. He worked many years as a mechanic for the local Ford dealership, Jeff O’Neal. He then spent almost 23 years working for Sonoco Paper Mill.
In his free time, Tim was usually found fixing cars (a love he shared with his sons), working on some project Shawna probably started, or spending it with his family — he loved his grandchildren beyond measure — or praying his rosary on his front porch sitting in his rocking chair. He was a devout Catholic who loved the Lord more than anything. He often said that if his cancer would help others find the Lord, then he would rather go on being sick. Tim was a Eucharistic Adorer beginning in 1995 and made regular visits to the Blessed Sacrament all throughout his illness.
Tim is survived by his wife of 36 years, Shawna; his children Madison (Sam) Nelson of Hutchinson, Joseph (Mackenzie) Oberle of Castle Rock, CO, Brennan (Dallis) Oberle of Hutchinson, and Gunner (Christine) Oberle of Hutchinson; parents, John & Nadine Oberle of South Hutch; siblings Monty (Rowenna) Oberle, Carman (Eric) Turner, Chris (Ling) Oberle; 14 grandchildren; father-in-law Rick King and mother-in-law Kathy King; sister-in-law Brandi (Jason) Mahoney; sister-in-law Jamie Cox , all of Hutchinson; numerous nieces and nephews; and his dog, Lucky (Chuck).
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Joseph “Joe” & Esther Oberle; maternal grandparents, Therman “Bud” and Twyla “Shug” Long; two grandchildren and eight nieces and nephews.
