He was born May 25, 1940 in Greeley, Colorado to Omer and Helen Gnadt. He grew up mainly in Roggen, Colorado until his Junior year of High School, when he moved to Greeley to be closer to his highschool sweetheart, Helen Knight. They were married on June 13, 1959. He was working at ACME Printshop at that time, which he continued to work at for many years after.
He was involved in the Roggens Lions Club, Greeley Kiwana's, bowling, camping, and his children's activities such as dance, cub scouts, music, sports, and other school and social events. He eventually started his own printing business which he sold as print shops were going out and copy shops were taking over. He then sold cell phones for a few years, and eventually fell into the opportunity to start doing property management, which he continued doing until his retirement. He lost Helen in 2018. After that his health failed. He loved his family very much and was blessed with raising his great grandchild, Anden Burch.
He is survived by his children, Ron and Jerry (Jodi) Gnadt, Patti Krautchun and Anden Burch. He had many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents and wife.
A Memorial Service will be held at Stoddard Funeral Home, 3205 W. 28th Street on April 21, 2026 at 2:00 P.M.
