Patrick Edward Kingman

Patrick Edward Kingman was called home to our Lord on Tuesday, April 25, 2023. He passed over peacefully at home in Medaryville, Indiana. Pat was born November 29, 1948 in Rensselaer, Indiana to Glenn Edward and Myrtle Ann (Salyers) Kingman. He graduated in 1966 from Rensselaer Central High School and attended Vincennes University. He served in the US Army, stationed in Germany, where he garnered the national defense service medal and was decorated as a marksman. Pat was a musician and painter. He was self-employed as a residential and commercial painter and decorator, running his own company, Kingman Painting, for more than 40 years in Rensselaer and surrounding areas. He always said that he liked his work, but he loved his customers. He was very passionate about his music, starting his many years in entertainment at the age of 15 with his brothers and friends in the band the Sundowners. Over the years he played guitar and sang with many others in bands that included: Big Orly, We’re Only In It For the Money, Home Grown, Lurkin In the Dark, and Bone Daddy. Patrick is survived by his 2 daughters: Sarah (Bryan) Luzadder of Medaryville, IN, Katheryn (Charles) Marlin of Seymour, MO, and Soren Nuss of LaCrosse, IN, who he loved like a son, children of former wife, Vicki Nuss who also survives. He is also survived by his grandchildren: Hailey (Brandon) Putt, Julian Luzadder, Jarmon, Charlie, Oliver, and Asberry Marlin, great granddaughter Lowen Putt, his siblings: Steven (Connie) Kingman and Michael (Janett) Kingman, nephews: Sean (Melody) Kingman, Kerry (Erica) Kingman, Alex (Amy) Kingman, nieces: Maia (Dan) Hawthorne, and Erin (Kelly) McGuire, great nieces and nephews, former partner Sherri Hudson, former wife Susan Standish-DeMoss, step children: Garren Lewis and Sydney Sobat, and his loyal canine companion, Bernie. He was preceded in death by his parents and many beloved friends. He loved his family and loved his friends like family. He enjoyed listening to a wide variety of music all day every day. He liked to tinker and create in his garage, go junk shopping, fishing, play horseshoes and Scrabble, crack jokes and use big “decorative” words. He spoke fondly of his time in Germany and of traveling to Alaska, Michigan and Canada with friends, and Wisconsin with his dad. He was a free spirit and definitely one of a kind. He liked to joke that he was a “legend in his own mind” (a Robby-ism). A quiet and reserved guy, he really came out of his shell after his stroke in May of 2021 and we all enjoyed hearing his stories and getting to know him even better. He will be greatly missed until we meet again. A visitation in Patrick’s honor will be held on Monday, May 8 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM central time at Jackson Funeral Chapel with a memorial service following at 7:00 PM. A Graveside Service will be held on Tuesday, May 9, 2023, at 11:00 AM CT at Memory Gardens Cemetery of Rensselaer. Memorial contributions in Patrick’s name may be made to The American Music Therapy Association.
