John Joseph Kiesling Jr.

Born on November 22, 1952, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, John was the cherished son of the late Helen and John J. Kiesling Sr.

John proudly served his country in the United States Army and was a devoted Fourth Degree member of the Knights of Columbus. He was an avid Philadelphia sports fan, a wine enthusiast, and had a true passion for baking—often sharing his creations with those he loved most.

He will be deeply missed by his beloved wife of 37 years, Doreen (Sabia). He was a loving father to Jay Kiesling (Kathy), Jacki Gormish (Chris), Alex Kiesling (Kati), and Matthew Kiesling (Jamie), and a proud “Crazy” Pop-Pop to Nick, Amber, Jada, Gianna, and AJ.

John is also survived by his sisters, Helen and Rose (Sue), as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever cherish his memory.

A Memorial Gathering for family and friends will be held on Monday, May 18, 2026, from 10:00 am until 10:50 am, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial, at Our Lady of Grace Church, 255 Bellevue Ave, Penndel, PA. Military Honors will be rendered following Mass.

All other services for John will be private.
