A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION,
Expressing the Legislature's condolences upon the occasion
of the death of J.D. Kesling.
WHEREAS,
a distinguished and original South Dakotan, J.D. Kesling, passed away on
February 27th; and
WHEREAS,
J.D. Kesling acquired his stepfather's hardware store and mortuary in 1936 and
worked there while also acquiring a lumber company, another hardware store, and the plumbing
and heating shop, and also owned the lumber company in Isabel. He owned these until 1965
when he moved to Mobridge and purchased the Miles Funeral Home. In Mobridge he designed
and built a new Funeral Home at the West edge of Mobridge; and
WHEREAS,
flying was his most rewarding hobby; although, he also enjoyed cooking,
reading, card games (in particular double pinochle), history, politics, and visiting the more than
ten thousand people he claimed to know; and
WHEREAS,
J.D. lived his entire life with zest, compassion, humor, and a love for his fellow
man, which made him a man who is greatly missed:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED,
by the House of Representatives of the Seventy-
fourth Legislature of the State of South Dakota, the Senate concurring therein, that the
Legislature hereby expresses its heartfelt condolences on the sad passing of this congenial man.
