Deacon Robert Beisser

Deacon Robert A. Beisser, a devout servant of God and beloved member of Christ the King Parish in Toledo, Ohio, peacefully passed away on June 21, 2024, while on a journey with his cherished wife Cindy in Oslo, Norway. Born on May 25, 1957, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Lawrence and Julia Beisser, Deacon Robb was a man of deep faith and unwavering dedication to his community.

A graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, Deacon Robb met Cindy in Milwaukee, and they exchanged vows on February 24, 1990, at Mary Queen of Heaven Parish in West Allis, WI, where they both sang in the choir. Revered for his humility and unassuming nature, he was ordained as a Deacon in the Diocese of Toledo on May 17, 1997. For over 27 years, Deacon Robb tirelessly served the parishioners of Christ the King Church, also extending his compassion and care as a Chaplain at ProMedica Hospice.

Deacon Robert Beisser's life was a testament to selfless service and a deep prayer life, touching the hearts of many through his work with the Young Adult Ministry, Sight & Hearing Challenged Support Group, and Christ the King's Homebound Ministry. He leaves behind his beloved wife Dr. Cynthia Beisser, his brothers Gary (Nancy) Beisser and David (Peggy) Beisser, both of South Carolina, his caring brother-in-law Daniel (Margaret) Smith of Colorado, and numerous friends within Christ the King Parish. Preceding him in death were his parents.
