Lloyd Frederick Cline, of Twenty-Nine Palms, California, died on January 31st, 2023 at Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, California. Fred Cline was born on June 27, 1947 in DeKalb County, Indiana. His parents were Lloyd M. and Helena E. (Keller) Cline who preceded him in death.  Fred’s niece, Sylvia (Southern) Baum Sorg also preceded him in death.  Fred graduated from DeKalb High School and soon thereafter went to California, living the last several years in San Clemente and, more recently, in Twenty-Nine Palms, California.  Fred was artistic with a great eye for color.  This helped him immensely in his career as a salesman for floor coverings.  Surviving are his sister and brother-in-law, Mary E. and David L. Southern of Auburn; a niece, Katherine A. (Katy) Southern of Columbia City; a nephew David H. Southern and his wife Qi Bao of Indianapolis, and their two children, Lauren and Quinn; his niece, Sylvia’s two children, Elizabeth S. Baum of Indianapolis; and Daniel J. Baum and his wife Lexi of Dover, Delaware; and Todd Sorg, who was Sylvia’s husband.  Fred was always inquiring about his Indiana family and loved hearing about them. Fred is also survived by his good friend and house mate, Tom Olsen, who helped him through many critical health issues over the last few years, and his employer and good friend Richard and his family, all of California.  At his request, his remains will be cremated and there will be no service. Pinnington Funeral & Cremation Services is assisting the family with arrangements.
