Rev. Harold Kistler

March 27, 1937 - May 2, 2019

Harold Leon Kistler, 82, of Blairs VA went home to be with the Lord on May 2, 2019 at Sovah Health. He was born in Mooresville, NC on March 27, 1937 to the late Thomas Guy and Lois Clodfelter Kistler. Harold was a graduate of Mooresville High School, Davidson College, and held a Bachelor of Divinity from Southeastern Theological Seminary. From an early age, he began a 56-year ministry in pastoring several churches across both Virginia and North Carolina with a commitment to spreading the gospel and serving others. Recognizing a need for the value and efficiency of God’s message, he created a one-minute weekday radio message of hope he called “Moment of Truth”. Harold was a compassionate person who loved his family and making people laugh. Fascinated by cars and fixing things, he was found constantly outdoors, whether gardening or farming, or playing a great game of horseshoes. He is survived by his loving wife of nearly 60 years, Patricia Hill Kistler. Also surviving is a sister, Doris Sparrow (Ralph); his children, Kellie Clark (Kenneth), Chad Kistler (Amy), and Travis Kistler (Mike Kweller); grandchildren Lauren Cook (Brandon), Joshua Clark, Tiffany Kistler, and Emily Kistler; and great-grandchildren Storm and Jade Cook. Funeral service will be conducted on Saturday, May 4, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at United Baptist Church with the Rev. Dr. Adam Woods, Rev. R.G. Rowland, and Rev. Kenneth Clark officiating. Interment will follow in Danville Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends prior to the service from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the church. In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made to the Gideons International at www.gideons.org. Wrenn-Yeatts North Main is respectfully serving the Kistler family
