Carol L. Claspill

Carol Lee Claspill, 76, of Nevada, Mo., went home to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Nov. 20, 2020, due to complications related to Covid-19.

Carol was born on Jan. 21, 1944, to Roy and Lucille (Davis) Claspill in Montevallo, Mo. Carol graduated from El Dorado Springs, Mo., High School in 1962.

Carol met his wife Loretta Sue Kutina, the love of his life at the White Grill in Nevada. They married July 21, 1972, and went on to have one child together, Amy Cameron. Prior to marriage to Loretta, Carol had wed and had a son, Darrin Lee Duffey of Harrisonville.

Carol and Loretta had a lot of fun together. You could find them at the Nevada Speedway every Saturday night where Carol was the flagman for many years and Loretta counted laps. They loved old fast cars, country dancing, bowling, snow ski trips and playing golf together until Loretta became to ill with cancer to do so. Carol could fix just about anything and who the family called upon when something broke. He liked classic cars and enjoyed doing body work and restoring a classic when he was younger.

Carol was a force of nature, determined to provide for his family and give them the life he felt they deserved. His family meant more to him than anything else, something he often mentioned. He was unendingly proud of all his grandchildren and always tried his best to support them. Carol could often be found at a golf tournament watching his granddaughter, Emree Cameron. Emree’s funniest memory of him was when he went to Augusta National to watch her compete in the National DCP competition. Standing near hole #1 Carol could not believe how beautiful the grass was and didn’t think it was real. Right there he got down and all fours to check and said, “Yep, it’s real.” Carol enjoyed riding the 4-wheeler with all his grandchildren, spoiling them with sweet treats and talking to them about Jesus.

Throughout his entire life, Carol held an unwavering faith in God which he shared with those who surrounded him. Carol really wanted to make sure everyone knew Jesus Christ. Carol was preceded in death by his wife, Loretta; his parents; brother, Lyle Claspill; and brother, Tom Claspill. He is survived by his children, Amy Cameron (Eric) of Nevada, and Darrin Duffey (Harrisonville); grandchildren, Emree and Ty Cameron of Nevada; Brent of Peculiar; Silas and Phaedra Duffey of Harrisonville; and great-grandson, Bentley Duffey of Peculiar; brother, Ron (Las Vegas); brother, Darrel (Doris) of Clinton; and sister, Sandy Foreman (Bill) of Raymore, Mo. Carol had many nieces of nephews who he loved very much and who have many fond memories of their Uncle Carol.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and per Carol’s final days request, there will be no funeral services at this time. Carol did not want anyone to become ill at his expense. The family plans on a Celebration of Life in the Spring of 2021.

Carol had requested donations to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in lieu of flowers sent in care of Ferry Funeral Home.
