Danny "Spanky"

Kliebert

Danny Michael Kliebert, better known to most as “Spanky,” passed away unexpectedly at the age of 58 on Sunday, July 26, 2026 doing what he loved most. A native of Lutcher, LA and resident of Paulina, LA, he was a loving father, grandfather, brother, son and friend. Danny was an avid outdoorsman and skilled craftsman who found great peace and joy in the woods, on the water and with his hands, creating one-of-a-kind works that reflected his talent and creativity. Most of all, Danny's greatest joy and the light of his life were his two daughters and three, soon to be four, grandchildren. He cherished every moment spent with them, especially teaching them to hunt, fish and ride four-wheelers, passing along his love of the outdoors, family, hard work and making memories together. 

He is survived by his daughters, Destiny Bourgeois and husband, Ryan and Alyssa Kliebert and husband, Copeland Williams; his beloved grandchildren, Dani Marie Bourgeois and Rya Paige Bourgeois and Ashton Michael Kliebert; and the eagerly anticipated arrival of his fourth grandchild, Quinn Alexis Williams. He is survived by his mother, Marie Poche Kliebert; his siblings, Kent Kliebert, Billie Keller (Tim), Bobbie Keller (Patrick) and Brad Kliebert (Terry). He was preceded in death by his father, Roy “Fatty” Kliebert; and his grandparents Elucia and Samuel Kliebert, and Lima and Thomas Poche’. 

Visitation will be on Saturday, August 1, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. at Rose Lynn Funeral Home, 1870 Cabanose Ave., Lutcher, LA followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Paulina, LA at 12:00 p.m. Burial will be at a later date.

The trail ends here, but his spirit walks the woods forever.
