Justin William Theel

Justin Theel, 52, passed away unexpectedly on October 22, 2024. He was born on October 18, 1972, in Rochester, MN, to William and Kathleen (McNallan) Theel.

Justin graduated from Kenyon-Wanamingo High School in 1991.  He was currently employed by Kraus Anderson Construction Company and he has worked for Union 405 for many years.

On June 3, 2000 he married Cyndi Beighley and they had two children together; Tayla and Kami.  Justin and Cyndi later divorced.

Justin’s heart was as big as his smile, and his kindness knew no bounds. He was always the first to offer a helping hand, making those around him feel valued, understood, and appreciated. His love for nature was a constant source of joy, whether he was spending time with family, friends or his loyal dog Layla, enjoying a round of golf, or passionately cheering on the Minnesota Vikings and the Minnesota Wild. Justin found joy in the simple moments that made life meaningful.

As a laborer, Justin took immense pride in his craft, particularly in concrete work, where his skill and dedication were unmatched. Whether working on a large project or assisting a friend, his precision and attention to detail left an indelible mark. His work wasn’t just a job; it was a reflection of his character—steady, strong, and always done with care.

Justin’s loyalty and love for his family and friends were the cornerstones of his life. Known for his quick wit and infectious laugh, he could light up any room and was always ready with a joke or a story to lift spirits. His presence will be sorely missed, but his memory will forever live on in the countless lives he touched.

He is survived by his parents, William and Kathleen of Wanamingo; his two beloved daughters, Tayla and Kami Theel of Eyota; his brother Jason Theel and sister-in-law Rachel of Lakeville, along with their children Oliver and Elliot.

A celebration of Justin’s life will be held on Tuesday October 29th, 2024, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00pm at the River Park Chapel, Macken Funeral Home in Rochester.

The family asks that you honor Justin’s memory by embracing life as much as possible, as he did—loving deeply, laughing often, and never missing an opportunity to help others.

Bill, Kathy & Family - 


Our prayers are with you and your family.  I hadn't talked to Justin in quite some time, but it seems like not that long ago we were little kids running around upstairs while you guys played cards.  He is gone from our sight, but not from our hearts.

Bill, Kathy, Jason and rest of family,


I am so sorry for Justin's passing. He will be missed. My heart breaks for my family members back in Minnesota. I remember when I was young all the family picnic's getting together was such a great and wonderful memory I grew up with. The Thanksgivings at your home and listening to the football games. We all had such closeness when I was young. I really miss those times. Riding minibikes and yelling from the top of the barn door what adventures we had. Justin and I were going to go to the famous BBQ if and when I came back to visit, I am sorry that will not happen. To all Bill, Kathy, Jason, Tayla and Kami and rest of Family my heart is with you and prayers.. YOU ARE ALL LOVED AND MISSED.

Justin was a great cousin, but he was more than that to me he was a good friend. Whenever our families got together, which wasn’t too often I always would look forward to spending time with Justin and Jason as they had a special relationship with each other. Spending time with Justin you knew he would end up making me laugh from a witty joke or a story. He always made me feel special when I was with him. He is greatly missed. Love you cuz! Rich
