Claude W. Pettit, son of Claude J. and Marie (Frederick) Pettit, was born August 18, 1953 in Emmetsburg, Iowa. After his family moved to California, Claude graduated from Granada Hills High School in 1972. He later made his home in Reno, Nevada with his family.

Claude did some factory work and after returning to Emmetsburg, he worked briefly at Sky Jack. Claude loved wiring and working on telephones and T.V.'s. He loved listening to music and watching old movies. Claude could tell you all of the actors in each movie and enjoyed quoting lines from the movies. One of his favorites was the original King Kong. Claude spent a lot of time walking around town, no matter the weather.

Due to health issues, Claude moved to Lakeside Lutheran Home in Emmetsburg where he lived until 2014, when he moved to Longhouse in Spencer.

Claude passed away Friday, August 24, 2018, at Longhouse in Spencer, Iowa at the age of 65. He was preceded in death by his parents, Claude and Marie; his siblings, Alice McEvoy Blackstock, Robert "Bob" Pettit, Mary Blake and Thomas "Tom" Pettit.

He is survived by his sisters, Claudia (Larry Prince) Liessmann of Ruthven, Iowa and Pati Crowell of Reno, Nevada; a brother, Donald (Mary Ann) Pettit of Reno, Nevada; sisters-in-law, Kathy Pettit of Ruthven, Iowa and Shari Pettit of Emmetsburg, Iowa; an uncle, Lee Frederick of Emmetsburg, Iowa; many nieces, nephews and cousins; as well as other relatives and friends.
