Service Details
Scott J. Kloberdanz, 54, a resident of Urbandale, died Wednesday, September 27, 2017. Scott was born June 5, 1963 to Al F. and Mary L. Kloberdanz in Mason City, Iowa. Scott’s academics were second to none. He graduated from Charles City High School and furthered his education at the University of Northern Iowa. He then attended Des Moines University obtaining his Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine. He established the Kloberdanz Foot and Ankle Clinic in Charles City with a satellite clinic in Marshalltown. Scott excelled as a Podiatrist for 16 years.
As a Christian, with God’s guidance and direction, Scott was led to return to the University of Iowa for his Master’s degree in Social Work. His calling was more than a job, he truly loved helping others and practiced family counseling for 14 years. Scott was brilliant, kind, compassionate and gentle, and cared deeply for his family and his clients. His tender soul touched all who knew and loved him.
Scott was a devoted and loving father to the love of his life, his daughter, Alayna and his best buddy in life, Colby. He cherished spending time with his kids and family. They enjoyed even the simplest things in life, riding their bikes, walks in the park, swimming, and memorable family vacations. Scott’s kids were the center of his universe, and his nieces and nephews were a close second. He was also the best uncle ever!
He will be truly missed by everyone who knew him, including his children, Alayna Kloberdanz and Colby Hawkins, and their mother, Michelle (former wife); Scott’s mother, Mary Kloberdanz; his siblings, Steve Kloberdanz, Brenda (Tom) McGinn, Bret (Su) Kloberdanz, and Bob (Amy) Kloberdanz; his beloved nieces and nephews; and numerous other loving relatives and special friends. Scott was preceded in death by his father, Al F. Kloberdanz; his grandparents, and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Services will be held Thursday, October 5, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. at Lutheran Church of Hope, 925 Jordan Creek Parkway in West Des Moines with a luncheon to follow. Burial will be at Jordan Cemetery in West Des Moines.
In order for his mother to grieve and have closure, there will be a Celebration of Life held on Saturday, October 7 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Cedar Health, 807 5th St., in Charles City. Please bring your special memories to share for some good laughter and fond reminiscing. Refreshments will be provided.
Memorial contributions may be directed to the family in support of the children. Condolences may be expressed at www.HamiltonsFuneralHome.com.

Well, I'm stunned to just learn that Scott had passed away 3 years ago. Way too early and very sad to hear this. We were pals and class mates in Podiatry School. I am so sad to read this as I was doing a search to find him and chat. RIP Scott, See ya up in Heaven.

It is with profound sadness that I just learned of Scott's passing today, 2 years later.
To say that this stunned me would be an understatement.

My sincerest condolences to the entire family.
Like you, I am still sad and at a loss for words from loosing Scott. I loved him deeply and really miss him. We spent every moment we could together and was looking forward to a wonderful future together!
I know there are so many other people who love him and miss him too. He is a very special man who is kind, gentle, compassionate and helped so many!
Scott absolutely loved the Lord and was passionate about his calling to serve the Lord through counseling. As many others, I admired his faithful obedience and leap of faith in this area of his life.
He was an amazing father, friend to so many and loved his family.
Scott will always live on in my heart and I am looking forward to that day when we will meet again!
Thank you for the beautiful service and for the love you have extended to me.
Let us keep loving others just as Scott did.
I love you Scott! See you again soon!

Kloberdanz Family: Deepest condolences to all of you and prayer for blessed assurance. I knew Scott through sports, Driver's Ed - we drove in the same group, and mutual acquaintances at school. His genuine smile and disposition obviously carried through adulthood. I had the pleasure of speaking with him briefly a couple of years ago, and his caring demeanor was very evident. Scott now serves all of us from Heaven.

I was very saddened to hear about Scott's passing. I worked with him when he began working at Eyerly-Ball shortly after his decision to go into Social Work. He cared deeply for those who he interacted with, whether that was as a client or co-worker. May blessings and peace be bestowed upon you and your family.

I was so very sad to hear of Scott's passing. It is so difficult to lose someone so young. Hopefully the many happy memories of your childhood together will fill the emptiness you feel now. May your entire family find peace.

I am honored to call Scott my friend. His impish sense of humor, his desire to be better, and his genuine affection for people changed my life for the better. As his friend and partner in mischief, I was blessed to have so much of his time. We grew apart, with years and half a continent between us. That never lessened my respect and love for him. God speed, and may you find peace in His care.

Honored to have the opportunity to know Scott, seemed we knew each other for years. He just had that gift that made you feel at home. It was only this past year that we connected, but he helped us through some rough times. Prayers go up for his family, he is greatly missed, true servant, thanks Scott
