Emil Max Stieler
The greatest generation lost one of its finest members on Friday, Jan. 06 2016.
Emil Max Stieler exemplified what it means to be a family man and a true Texan.
He answered his country's call and served proudly in World War II in the South Pacific Theater with the U.S. Army.
Upon his return he spent many years ranching in the Texas Hill Country and took joy in teaching his granddaughters about life on the ranch.
He will be missed by many.
He was born in Gillespie County, Texas, the son of Gus and Mata Hart Stieler. They preceded him in death, as did his wife, Minetta Hope Stieler, five brothers, one sister and one daughter-in-law, Sandy Stieler.
He is survived by: his son, Ricky Wayne Stieler; six grandchildren, Natasha Stieler, Heather Marlow, Tommy Davis, Kenneth Davis, Stephanie Bass and Rick Morris; 14 great-grandchildren and many other loving relatives and dear friends.
Visitation was held from 5-7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 11, 2016, at Crofts–Crow Funeral Home in Johnson City, where funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. today, Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2016.
Emil will be laid to rest next to his wife, Minetta, in Cypress Mill Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Cypress Mill Cemetery Association, P.O. Box 34, Round Mountain, TX, 78663.
