In loving memory of Merlin Dean Gindlesperger
May 5, 1931 to March 21, 2024, and eternity,
Merlin joined his wife of 71 years, Bessie Gindlesperger, and their son, Mark Gindlesperger along with many other loved ones in the heavenly realms. Upon this earthly realm to be joined at a later date, he left his brothers; Homer, Ronald and Barry. He also left 5 of his children and their spouses; Helen Christine Wilson and husband Doug, Bonny Walters and husband Arthur, Brian Gindlesperger, Terri Hepperly and husband Michael, Paula Langton and husband David. He also left the earthly realm with 11 grandchildren 15 great grandchildren, and 2 great great grandchildren.
Merlin was an avid follower and believer in Jesus Christ and always strived to follow the will of God. He loved his family and friends dearly and that love was and is returned.
He fervently and consistently prayed for each and every family member and friend by name.
He was a jack of all trades and a master of many; never afraid of getting his hands dirty. Merlin was continually a student, a teacher, a preacher, a missionary, a spiritual leader, a philanthropist, a spinner of tales, a tourist, a tourist guide, a baker, a counselor, a musician, a singer, a composer, a music enthusiast, a reader, an author, a beacon of light, and the list goes on and on. He lived more in one lifetime than can only be imagined.
As we bid farewell to this earthly chapter, let us remember Merlin as a man who walked in faith, leaving footprints of Grace, Mercy, and Love. May his legacy continue to inspire us to live purposely, love unconditionally, and seek God’s presence continually in our lives.
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
AMEN!!!
