Arthur Victor “Artie” Horn, 70, Kearney, formerly of the Stet community, died on Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2022, at Liberty Hospital. 

Artie was born on May 12, 1952, in Great Bend, KS, the son of Charles Francis and Vivian Cleo (Barger) Horn. He was united in marriage to Connie Lee Sisson of Richmond on June 12, 1971; she survives of the home. 

Additional survivors include three sons, Arthur “Artie” (Patricia) Horn, II, of Kansas City, Timothy (Christi) Horn of Kearney, and Bradley Horn of Kansas City; 8 grandchildren, Arthur Victor “Trey” Horn, Spencer Daniel Lee Horn, Chase Andrew Horn, Sebastian Scott Horn, Liam Patrick Horn, Aislinn Laura Jayne Horn, James Arthur Horn, and Ethan Bradley Horn; two sisters, Sharon (George) Whitcomb of Lawson and Dorothy (Calvin) Milligan of Braymer; many nieces; nephews; cousins; and other extended family and friends also survive. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers and sister-in-law, William (Pat) Horn, and Charles Horn, and his sister and brother-in-law, Donna (J.B.) Armstrong. 

Artie was reared and educated in the Millville-Stet area. He graduated from the Stet High School in the class of 1970. Artie came from a long line of iron workers and was a member of the Local Iron Workers Union #10. He worked from 1970, until 1990, retiring as Superintendent; he worked all over the country. After retirement, Artie volunteered his time in many capacities. He served as a school board member and President for the Stet School System, where he served for 12 years. 

Artie also volunteered as a Fire Fighter and EMT for the Stet Fire Department and the Cowgill Fire Department. He was a board member of the Ray County Ambulance District and taught CPR classes. 

Artie’s faith was incredibly important to him.  He was an active member and Deacon at the Union Baptist Church in Norborne. Artie was also currently a member of the Northern Hills Baptist Church in Holt. Another one of Artie’s passions included working as a volunteer for the Missouri Baptist Disaster Relief. He was also Director of the Clay-Platte District Disaster Relief. 

Most of all though, Artie loved his family, especially his grandchildren. 

The family suggests memorial contributions be made to the Missouri Baptist Disaster Relief.  They can be left at or mailed to Thurman Funeral Home, 507 East Main Street-P.O. Box 190, Richmond, MO 64085.
