Arthur “Art” Hessler Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church on Sunday, October 4, 2026. He was the beloved husband of the late Loretta T. Hessler (nee Hanrahan). Arthur was a loving father to Kris (Denise), Micki (Mike) Vancil, Karen (Andy) Smith, Sandy (Harold Sher) Short, Eric Hessler, and the late Rick (Lori) and Kimberly Hessler. He was a devoted grandfather to Shannon (Michelle) Hessler, Nick (Stacey) Hessler, Hannah (Miles) James, Lindsey (Joe Kabance) Hessler, Madison (Bo) Sheahan, Emily (Brandon) Gipson, Jake Short, and Jessica Short, Eli Hessler and Keegan Hessler and a proud great-grandfather of 8 and great-great-grandfather of 5; cherished brother of Terry (Linda) Hessler and the late Bill (Kathy) Hessler; our dear uncle, great-uncle, cousin and friend to many.
Art will be remembered for his quick wit and fun loving sense of humor. He was an avid bridge player who loved sports, golfing, dancing, and just being outdoors sitting by the lake. His passion for life will live on in the memories of all who knew and loved him.

Terry, We’re so sorry for the loss of your brother. We know you had more than a few good times with him. Sending prayers for your brother, you and all of your family. With deepest sympathy, Ralph and Carol
My heart goes out to all of you during this difficult time. Your dad was a very special man, and what a blessing to have had him for 98 years. I know you much he meant to each of you. I hope the many years of memories, love, laughter, and family moments you shared with him will bring you comfort in the days ahead. Sending all of you my love, prayers, and deepest sympathy.
I loved having Arthur at all our gatherings. I especially loved hearing his memories of the times past with Grandma Mikus. We shared our love of Grandma Mikus, who was so special to all of us. Arthur loved talking about his family and was very proud of his great grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. I will miss talking to him.
My condolences to the family. I knew Art at the lake years ago. He was always a nice guy.
So sorry to hear of your loss. We in the bridge group always enjoyed playing with your dad grandfather. He was a good breach player and such A gentleman all the time. He will be missed.
