Lowell Gene Kleinmeyer

Conroy-Lowell Gene Kleinmeyer, 68, lost a 7-year battle with Renal Cell Carcinoma on Sunday, July 4, 2021, surrounded by his family at home. He fought like a true Marine until the end.
Lowell was born in April 21, 1953 in Williamsburg, Iowa to Edwin and Dolores (Sandersfeld) Kleinmeyer. He graduated from Amana High School and enlisted in the Marines. He was a member of the Color Guard and served as a Military Policeman and drug dog handler in Yuma, AZ until 1975. Lowell worked 28 years at Williamsburg Manufacturing and another 9 for Martinrea in various managerial roles. He married the love of his life, Joan Stahl, on December 20, 1975. They were blessed with three daughters, Holly, Jenny and Kaytee. He was a devoted husband, father, father-in-law and his favorite role of Papa to his two granddaughters.
Lowell was a faithful member of St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Williamsburg where he served on various committees. He was an avid Hawkeye Wrestling fan, touting that he attended wrestling matches before Carver was even built. Lowell enjoyed spreading Christmas cheer, spending time at the Lake of the Ozarks, or traveling internationally, especially with his mother-in-law Alice and sister-in-law Jan. He enjoyed spending time with his family, playing golf, racquetball, fishing and volunteering on the Williamsburg Booster club leading many school projects and basketball tournaments. Lowell loved a meticulous lawn and playing frisbee with his dogs. Lowell will be missed for his homemade ice cream, sparkling blue eyes, sense of humor and mischievous smile.
