According to an obituary from the Chapel Oaks Funeral Home, 55-year-old Richard “ Rick” Siebenmorgen died Thursday evening, August 23rd at Select Specialty Hospital in Kansas City, Kansas.

Siebenmorgen was injured the morning of July 28 in a motorcycle crash on U.S. 36 Highway in Brown County, just west of Kestrel Road.

He was initially transported to the Hiawatha Community Hospital and later flown to the Kansas City hospital.

At his request, Siebenmorgen has been cremated.  A visitation will be held Friday evening from 5 until 8 at the Fisher Community Center in Hiawatha.
