Klint C. Bothwell, 27, of Sioux Falls, SD formerly of Fergus Falls, MN
Funeral services will be 1:00 pm Wednesday, June 17, 2009 at Crosby-Jaeger Funeral Home in Springfield, with burial in the Emanuel Cemetery, rural Springfield.
Klint Christopher Bothwell, son of Kent and Wilma (Kastein) Bothwell, was born April 14, 1982 in Tyndall, SD. He died unexpectedly at his home in Sioux Falls on Thursday, June 11, 2009.
The family lived in South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, and California until 1995, when they moved to Fergus Falls, MN. Klint graduated from Fergus Falls High School in 2000.
Klint was employed by Scherr Masonry in Wagner and later Williams Masonry of Avon. He presently was employed with Citibank in Sioux Falls since February 2009.
Klint received his associate degree in Business Administration on line from Colorado Technical University. He graduated in May of 2009 with highest honors.
Klint loved watching and participating in sports and was an avid Raider fan. He will be remembered for his kind, gentle and generous heart. His courageous efforts to improve himself and turn his life around were evident in the last two years of his life. They were spent in hours of hard work, improving all areas of his well being: school, work, exercising, diet and mental attitude. Be assured his phenomenal inner strength was provided by God. In his 27 years of life, he had reached a peak, so to speak, and looking downward; he only wanted to be normal and knew he couldn't stay at that peak level….. So he rolled down into the arms of angels, or Jesus himself.
Thankful for having shared his life are his parents; sister Tera Robb and husband Dave, all of Fergus Falls, MN; brother Nick of Moorhead, MN; two nieces: Kaylee and Kate Robb; his grandmothers: Ann Bothwell of Orange, CA and Winifred Kastein of Tyndall; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Klint was preceded in death by his grandfathers: Dewain Bothwell and Bernard Kastein.
Blessed be the name of Jesus for the gift of Klint Christopher Bothwell and thank You for his life story.
