(KNZA)--A longtime Sabetha business owner is being remembered.

David Thieme, owner of Thieme Construction, died Sunday at the age of 63.

According to sources familiar with the situation, Thieme died during a farm-related accident, but that has not been confirmed by MSC News.

According to his obituary from the Popkess Mortuary in Sabetha, Thieme got into construction right after graduating from Bern High School in 1973.

He and Richard Werner became partners to form Thieme & Werner Construction.  In 1999, Thieme formed his own business.  His company did construction work throughout the Sabetha area, including most of northeast Kansas.

A Celebration of Life service will be held Thursday morning at 11:00 at the Popkess Mortuary in Sabetha. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service.

Among survivors are his wife, Diane, his mother, Lavonne, and four children.
