Leonard Craig Thiringer, 78

Leonard "Lenny" Craig Thiringer



December 18, 1946 – October 29, 2025



Leonard Thiringer, 78, husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, October 29, 2025. Lenny devoted his life to loving God, his family, and his friends.



Lenny was born in Spokane, Washington on December 18, 1946, to Hans and Edna Thiringer, and grew up with his two older brothers, Larry and Garry, in Spokane Valley, Washington.



While attending a small Bible college in Dodge City, Kansas, Lenny met his wife of 51 years, Kristin Bond. They married on December 9, 1973, and were blessed with three children: Jessica, David, and Petra. They spent much of their early parenting years in Cañon City, Colorado, before moving to Rathdrum, Idaho when their children were teens. They've been in Kootenai County, Idaho ever since.



Lenny will be deeply missed. As we mourn his passing, we remember and thank God for the extraordinary gift he was to us. Now he hears the music of heaven. He is with loved ones who have gone before him – and most of all, he is with Jesus.



Lenny is survived by his wife, Kristin, his daughter Jessica and her husband Tom, his son Petra and his wife Lisa, and his son David and his wife Milly and their three children, Caleb, Josiah, and Naomi.



A Celebration of Life will be held for Lenny Thiringer at New Life Church, 6068 W Hayden Ave, Rathdrum, ID 83858, on Saturday December 6, 2025, at 2:00 pm. Arrangements are entrusted to English Funeral Chapel, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Please sign and view Lenny's online guestbook at www.englishfuneralchapel.com
