Adam Tyler Roethel, who was more than just a hat rack, has died. ‘More than just a hat rack’ was one of his favorite phrases. He was a thinker, a visionary, had an endless supply of useless information, and he quietly surprised people with his intelligence. He entered this world to his parents, Joan Roethel and Edmund Bohn, on November 23, 1981. His body ran out of gas on March 1, 2026, after a rollercoaster battle against colon cancer.
Growing up, he was a quiet, inquisitive child. Surrounded by a large extended family, he was often in the midst of chaos and mayhem…of the best kind, the kind that creates memories for a lifetime. His family helped develop who he was determined to be as an adult. As a child, he loved taking things apart to figure out how they worked…he also, sometimes, put them back together. This trait stayed with him into adulthood, so it probably wasn’t a surprise he ended up in the construction business. After graduating from Oostburg High School in 2000, he soon began working for Oostburg Concrete. Starting as a grunt, doing footings, he eventually had experience in every aspect of the business, becoming the head of masonry where he excelled. He loved the artistry and the planning of difficult jobs. This also made him the go-to guy for challenging projects anywhere in the company’s realm, landing him the head of repairs and curb cutting as well. Oostburg Concrete has blessed Adam’s life by not only fortifying a career that supported his family for more than 25 years, but by also providing unrelenting understanding and support for him and his family during his journey through cancer.
In February of 2002, Adam met his wife to be, Kimberly ‘Kim’ (née Bannier). They enjoyed hanging out with friends, playing cards, target shooting, and joy riding in either of their two Corvette’s. Adam and Kim were married on June 3, 2004. Soon after they welcomed the first of their three daughters: Teagan in 2005, Jaycee soon followed in 2007, and Harper rounded out the trio in 2020. Adam adored his daughters and supported them in each and every way possible. From gymnastics, horses, 4H, youth symphony, owls, and above all else…dance and aerial. He was a hard core, aerial dance dad! He loved watching, supporting, transporting, flying, and especially keeping all of his ‘kids’ safe! The impact that Warped Studios has made on Adam and his family’s lives has been profound. He will miss his Warped family immensely.
Adam was also a devout member of St. John’s United Church of Christ. From being confirmed there, having his kids baptized, having a vow renewal, working sound/video for services, helping decorate for holidays, and also being on the council for years…church and faith was a large part of his life. One of the biggest blessings St. John’s has provided is a family, because family isn’t made up by blood only.
Adam is survived by his wife, Kim; his daughters: Teagan, Jaycee, and Harper. His parents; Ed and Joan, step parents; Del, Janell, and Joan Bohn, parent in laws; Scott and Mary Bannier, bonus parents; Ken and MaeJean Messner, brother; Cody Bohn, sister; Amber Stipe, brother in law; Jeremy Bannier, as well as multiple step siblings, aunts, uncles, in laws, cousins, and so many friends, coworkers, and his Warped family.
Aside from family and work, Adam enjoyed tinkering, boating, napping, snacking, frying out, and running his online farm. Our family would like to give a huge thank you to the office of Mark Bettag and all of his staff, especially to Dr. Souala, for showing up when no one else would.
Please join us in remembering Adam. A celebration of life will take place on Monday, March 9, 2026, at St. John’s United Church of Christ, 1208 Lincoln Ave, Sheboygan, WI. Family and friends may gather at the church on Monday from 11:00 am until the time of service at 1:00 pm.
