He was raised in Mount Pleasant where he had many friends and acquaintances throughout his life. Klint had a ‘big’ personality and had a unique ability to draw others to him. He was friendly with all he met and had an amazing ability to keep those around him entertained. Klint was a graduate of North Sanpete High School where he graduated with honors. He then served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Bucharest, Romania where he learned to love the people there.
