Clarence A. Kindt

Born on October 14, 1938, to Ralph and Meta Kindt, Clarence was the embodiment of a life well-lived. He was a loving brother to Arnold, Louis (Linda), and Hilda Marsh, and was preceded in death by his siblings Ervin, Walter, Adeline, Leona (William) Kaschner, Florence (Henry) Timmreck, sister-in-law Irma, and brother-in-law Homer Marsh.

Clarence’s legacy is carried on through his beloved wife of 62 years, Sandra, their children, Steven (Lisa) and Karen (Mark) Cordes, and his adored grandchildren Nathan (Hilary), Kimberly (Tom), Lucas (Maddie), and Olivia (Brandon). His great-grandchildren, Katherine, Zachariah, Matthew, Allison, Lilah, Irvin, and Mallory, along with three more on the way, will grow up hearing tales of their great-grandfather’s love and wisdom.

Clarence’s life was marked by his unwavering commitment to his family, his faith, and his community. He married the love of his life, Sandra, on August 10, 1963, and together they built a family foundation strong enough to span generations. A man of many interests, Clarence was an avid outdoorsman who found solace in hunting and fishing. He was a regular at the Ponderosa Hunt Club and a lifetime member of the NRA. His dedication to the New Life Lutheran Church was evident in his joyful participation in the choir, and his faith was a guiding light throughout his life. Known for his thoughtful nature and handy skills, Clarence could often be found reading, a hobby that reflected his love for continuous learning and growth. He was also a passionate advocate for Wounded Warriors, always extending a helping hand to those in need. His love for dancing was infectious, and he could often be seen twirling Sandra around the dance floor, much to the delight of their family and friends. Clarence’s life was a testament to the values of devotion, kindness, and service, which he upheld until his last breath.

A celebration of Clarence’s life will be held Saturday, October 18, 2025, from 10 a.m. until the time of memorial service at 11 a.m. with Rev. Dan Stoneback officiating.
