David Lloyd Kindig, 66, of Roanoke, passed away at 4:49 a.m., Sunday, November 27, 2022, at his home with family by his side.

He was born February 13, 1956 in Peoria to Ivan and Janice (Armstrong) Kindig. He married Gay Lynne Schlossler on June 12, 1982 in East Peoria. She survives.

David worked at DMI in Goodfield for 20 years and was also a hired hand at Swiss Bell Farms for several years. He worked as a driver for Martin Brothers John Deer for 18 years until he was unable to work and had to retire in 2021.

Dave liked to tinker, often modifying, or improving on tools and equipment he owned. He enjoyed the outdoors, camping, canoeing, riding his motorcycle and flying model planes. He appreciated a clean truck, a nicely mowed lawn, and a straight fence line.
