William (Bill) Arnold Pinkelmann, 62, of Kansas City, KS, passed away on the morning of September 10, 2021 of natural causes.

Bill was born on October 10, 1958 to Ethel Anne Harris (Pinkelmann) and Francis Anthony Pinkelmann in Kansas City, KS. He graduated from Bishop Ward in 1976

Bill was a passionate Sci-Fi and Sports Junkie and could often be found in his chair watching the Chiefs game, Royals game, or KU game (depending on the season),  or having a Star Trek marathon. We’re almost positive he could speak Klingon fluently, then again it was a mystery. Qapla'!

Bill was a force of nature, a loving father, and family meant more to him than anything else in the world, something he often mentioned. He was unendingly proud of Brandi Michelle (Daughter), Amanda Belle (Daughter), and Tyler James(Son) and always tried his best to support them within his capabilities.

He is survived by his Sister Rose Dolph (Pinkelmann),  Nephews Tod and Jeff Forbis, his daughters Brandi and Amanda Huntsucker , his only son Tyler Pinkelmann, his grandson Kelly Nelson Jr, as well as all of his great nieces and nephews on the Forbis side, Logan and Ashley (Tod), Brandon, Madison, Lauren and Jordan (Kevin), Alex, Kaytlan, and Morgan (Jeff).  He was preceded in death by his nephew Kevin Forbis in 2020.

The family requests that all flowers and notes are sent to Porter Funeral Home. The family will have a Celebration of Life on Thursday, Sept 23, 2021 from 5:00 until 7:00 pm at Porter Funeral Home.
