Death of Miroslav Kis

We are saddened to inform the campus community that Miroslav M. Kiš died Tuesday afternoon, February 23, 2016, from a heart attack.

Dr. Kiš served as professor of Christian ethics and chair of the Department of Theology & Christian Philosophy at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary. He joined the faculty in 1983 as an assistant professor of Christian ethics and retired June 1, 2015, after 31 years of service at Andrews University.

His son, Andrej, works in the Office of Academic Records as articulation coordinator. Brenda Kiš, his wife, worked in the seminary for a number of years before she became an employee at Adventist Frontier Missions. She also retired on June 1, 2015. Their younger son, Adam, is currently an assistant professor of anthropology in the Department of International Studies at Burman University in Alberta, Canada.

Please remember the entire Kiš family in your thoughts and prayers as they deal with this difficult, unexpected loss. The Village Seventh-day Adventist Church is coordinating food for the family. Anyone willing or wanting to bring food should contact Tammy Robertson at 269-313-2805.
