Larry Kinderknecht, 51, passed away on Tuesday, November 24, 2020, at KU Medical Hospital in Kansas City, KS.
Larry was born on August 8, 1969, in St. Joseph, MO, the son of Robert “Bob” and Virginia (Billinger) Kinderknecht. He graduated from Wheatland High School in 1988, and attended Colby Community College. He worked at QuinStar Implement in Quinter, KS for many years before joining the team at Western Plains Energy in Campus, KS. He resided on a small farm outside of Quinter, KS.
Larry always had a way to make any one who crossed his path feel like his friend. He loved his animals, including calves, goats, pigs and geese on his farm, along with plenty of dogs and cats; special sidekicks, Sid, the 3-legged cat and Clyde, his dog. Of course, his favorite hobbies were watching NASCAR and NFL, especially the Dallas Cowboys. He also enjoyed playing cards with family and friends, and would usually talk his way to winning or saying that he won!
Survivors include: his mother, Virginia, Park, KS; sister, Lisa and husband Larry Cox, Ellis, KS; brother, Donnie Kinderknecht, Seattle, WA; niece, Emily and husband Jordan Mattheyer; nephew, Ethan and wife Britny Cox, both of Ellis, KS; and great-nephew, Mason Mattheyer and great niece, Mallory Cox and many other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his father, Bob Kinderknecht.
