Obituary
On September 13, 2019, David W.
Klockenga passed away at his home in Lincoln,
surrounded by loved ones at the age of 78 . He was
born to Walter and Virginia (Sheley) Klockenga on
May 25, 1941 in Lincoln, Illinois. David graduated
from Lincoln Community High School in 1960. On
October 5, 1962, David married Eunice Wall in
Lincoln.
He worked at Logan FS and the Bottle Factory. David
followed in his father’s footsteps and farmed
independently. David was very involved in his
community. He served on the school board at
Chester-East Lincoln for over 25 years and on the
Chester Township Board for many years. He has been a
sponsor of the Logan County Fair Calf Scramble.
David loved listening to country music, traveling
and watching westerns. In David’s free time he
enjoyed watching a multitude of different sports.
His loyalty was always to the Railer basketball
program and to the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball
team. Nothing gave David more joy than spending time
with his family. This included Sunday dinners,
wiener roasts, him supporting his kids and grandkids
at sports or activities and allowing anyone who
wanted to ride in the tractor or the combine.
David was preceded in death by his parents and
numerous aunts and uncles.
