Daniel Joseph

Kliebert, Sr.

Daniel Joseph Kliebert, Sr. passed away on Sunday, May 5, 2024 at the age of 77. He was a lifelong resident of Lutcher, LA.

Beloved husband of Lee Ann Boutte Kliebert, who would have celebrated 55 years of marriage on the 14th of June. Loving father of Daniel Kliebert, Jr. (Megan), Susan Pauli (Michael), and Jeremy Kliebert (Dorie). Grandfather of Pierson Kliebert, Addison Kliebert, Ben Pauli, Ethan Pauli, Andrew Kliebert, and Matthew Kliebert. Son of the late Theodule and Inez Kliebert.

Daniel loved hunting and fishing, especially duck hunting and fishing for redfish and specs. He shared many great times with friends and family in duck blinds and boats and he cherished those memories dearly. His love for hunting and fishing was only rivaled by his love for his family, especially his grandchildren.

Daniel had many great nicknames, but his favorite was given to him by his grandchildren, who affectionately knew him as "Grumps" or "Grumpy" which grew from their difficulty in saying "Gramps" at young ages. For his grandchildren, Grumpy was a source of wisdom and affection. He loved sharing his knowledge of the outdoors and of all things science with them. He cheered them on at every event they participated in – dance and cheer competitions, baseball, football, basketball, soccer and volleyball games, speech competitions and geography bees - from along the sidelines, across state lines, and from the comfort of his favorite La-Z-Boy.

Daniel's memory and spirit will forever live on when his friends and family remember his duck call blowing while hunting, hear his voice telling one of his great jokes or sharing a quip with them, looking to his favorite corner spot in the blind or when sharing those camp meals that included big ol' pots of white beans, and while casting a line from their fishing boats. However, his greatest memory and spirit will forever live on as Grumps or Grumpy through the laughter, successes, and victories of his beloved grandchildren and as Daddy, Dad or Pops to his beloved children.
