Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 5, 2024.

Curtis George Jendro, 79, of Little Falls, Minnesota, passed away on April 3, 2024. He was born on December 11, 1944, in Hennepin County, Minnesota.

Curtis, known as Curt, was an introvert who enjoyed his solitude but could be quite sociable when sharing a drink or two. He had a knack for all things mechanical and spent many years fixing cars and appliances. His love for travel, particularly by car, led him to explore various destinations like Wisconsin Dells and Disney World. Curt also found joy in gambling on Keno machines and basked in warm weather, having lived in Las Vegas for a period before returning to his roots.

In his career, Curt co-owned Jendro's Auto used cars and Jendro's Used Furniture and Stuff with his former wife, Mary Jendro.

He is survived by his siblings, Kevin (Karen) Jendro, Murial (Tom) Goebel, Vivian DeMarre, Marlys (Don) Will, Betty (Dan) Strom, & Sister-in-Law Joan Jendro. He is also survived by his children, Curtis (Nancy) Jendro of Fort Ripley, MN, Jeffrey Jendro of Licking, MO, and Angela (Carl) Jendro-Terry of Las Vegas, NV. Other surviving family members include his grandchildren, Milissa (Bond Becher) Jendro, Ashley Jendro, Kelly Jendro, Lydia Jendro, Jesse Jendro, Cole Jendro, Heather Johnson, Brandon Johnson, Garret Johnson, and 3 great-grandchildren, Orion Becher, Dylan Jendro, & Henry Johnson-Parra

He was preceded in death by his 3 month old daughter, Milissa V. Jendro (1968) and by his ex-wife, Mary L. Jendro (Lakin) in 2012, his father Joseph Jendro, his mother Leona Sahr (Przybilla), his brothers Duane Jendro and brother-in-law Raymond DeMarre.

Curtis's educational journey included attending primary and high school in Little Falls, Minnesota, and furthering his education at St. Cloud Technical College.

A man of diverse interests, Curt enjoyed playing the guitar, singing, playing cards with family, and indulging in a warm beer.
