Carl Lowell Klaty

Carl Lowell Klaty, age 87, of Newberry, MI, passed away June 24, 2021, at the Ascension Via Christi Hospital in Manhattan, KS, after a brief illness, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born August 15, 1933, in Carsonville, Michigan, the son of George and Clara (Brown) Klaty. Carl was married to Mary Beardslee on December 21 1956. They resided in lower Michigan until 1976 when they moved to Newberry. She preceded him in death on June 25 2009. He later married Carole Killin, in 2011. She also preceded him in death on April 19 2015.

Carl chose to serve the Lord at a young age and remained true to that calling all of his life. It brought him the most joy in life, so much that he was always inviting others to enjoy the gospel story. This being his priority in life, he also worked in the family business of plumbing heating and electrical until he retired.

Carl and Mary immensely enjoyed two trips to China and in his later years reminisced about these trips to others. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing, including many family fishing trips to Canada.
