Gary J. Kliesen died surrounded by his family, late Sunday night, September 3, 2017 at the age of 80, in Los Alamos, NM. Born and raised in Dodge City, Kansas, he was the Son of Elmer W. Kliesen and Joy Kliesen (Wright). Gary attended Saint Mary's of the Plains High School and also attended...
Gary was a great guy and neighbor of mine for several years. He worked far too hard. My childhood would have been quite boring without the entire Kliesen family. My prayers are with you all.

One of the smartest men I ever knew. Always confident enough to ask a stupid question. His life was an adventure well lived. Miss you Gunnar. Bob Beall

Knowing and loving my dear friend, and Gary's daughter, Brenda, and having had the pleasure of meeting June in years past, I only wish I'd made the trip to visit the ranch when June and Gary stilled lived there, so I could have met him. He must have been a wonderful and strong man to have attracted such a brilliant bride and raised such a loving daughter. My prayers are offered daily for the Kliesen family, and that Gary may rest in peace while he waits for his sweetheart to join him.

John knew Gary from St Mary's in Dodge City and also played football.
Gary came to our farm between Seward and Radium Kansas one day. He showed up out of the blue and spent the whole day catching up. John and Gary exchanged many stories of there days in Dodge City.
