Danny Lee "Pappy" Kliefoth
January 2, 1947 — October 22, 2021
I Stand out of respect, for a good man has left our presence.
Danny was many things, he was a good son to his parents, Bob and Beulah. He was a fine brother to Bobby, Kerry, Kevin and sister Billie. He was a loving husband of 50 years to wife Jody, was a devoted father to Rebecca Jo and Pappy to Hailey Jo, Sadie, Tayler, Jacob, and Joshua. He was a patient and loving uncle to all his nieces and nephews.
Danny was everything you could ask a man to be. He served his country when he was called upon. He worked hard for many years at Armco Steel and then retiring from Bayer CropScience.
Danny was most of all a friend to all and will be missed by all. I know he made it home before the “streetlights came on” as his mother always asked.
So, we stand out of respect for a good man, my brother, as he has left our presence.
Danny was born on January 2, 1947, and left us in peace, October 22, 2021.
He graduated from East High School and went on to serve in the US Army. He married Jo in July 1971.
Danny lost his beloved wife Jo, just weeks before we lost him. Danny called her is soul mate and they are united again, together forever.
Danny is survived by his daughter, Rebecca (Andrew) Adkins; grandchildren, Hailey Weishaar, Sadie Adkins, Tayler (Chris) Joslen, Jacob Dec, Joshua Dec; brother Robert Kliefoth; Kerry (Dorothea) Kliefoth; Kevin (Shelly) Kliefoth; many nieces, nephews and extended family.
He was preceded in death by his parents Robert and Beulah Kliefoth, wife Jo Delia Kliefoth and sister, Billie Jean Coursey.
