Allan Kermit Biesemeyer

Allan Kermit "Papa" Biesemeyer, 77, passed away peacefully on August 15, 2025, in Meridian, Idaho, with his devoted wife of 57 years, Cindy, by his side.

Born on April 23, 1948, to Kermit and Mabel Biesemeyer, in Indianapolis, Indiana. Allan's life was shaped by love, service and the extraordinary dedication to his family. He met the love of his life, Cindy Fields, his senior year at Shortridge High School, and they married in 1968.

After graduation, Allan proudly served his country in the United States Air Force. He worked as a crew chief on F-105 jets and spent a tour in Thailand before returning stateside, where he was stationed at Cannon Air Force base in Clovis, New Mexico. In 1971, after completing his service, the couple moved to San Jose, California, where Allan began a distinguished 40-year career with Solar Turbines, working as a Field Service Representative. His strong work ethic and dedication earned him the respect of those he worked with and left a lasting mark on both colleagues and customers alike.

Upon retiring in 2016, Allan and Cindy settled in Kuna, Idaho, where they enjoyed a quieter pace of life. Allan found joy in his corvettes, being the "Barn Manager" and playing with horses with his daughter, sharing late night talks with his son and cherishing time with his lifelong partner and best friend, Cindy and their little doggie, Amber.

Allan's family was the center of his world. He is survived by his wife, Cindy; daughter, Allacyn and her husband Joey Spears, and their daughter Tyler Marie; son, Tod David; brother, David V. Biesemeyer and his wife Alisa, their children Dash and Cole; niece, Amy Biesemeyer; and nephew, Michael Allan Biesemeyer and his wife Lisa, and their children Finnian, Dahlia and Rowan.

Those who knew Allan will remember his steady presence, quick wit and his deep devotion to his family and the love and laughter he brought to every gathering. He leaves behind a legacy of devotion, laughter and countless memories that will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

A Celebration of Life will be held on September 27, 2025, at his daughter's home in Nampa, Idaho. A funeral and military memorial service will follow on October 6, 2025, at California Central Coast Military Cemetery in Seaside, California.
