Klaus-Dieter Massat

January 17, 1949 — March 11, 2017

Klaus-Dieter Kurt Massat, age 68. Born January 17, 1949, in Esens, Germany and passed away on March 11, 2017, in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Visitation will be held Thursday, March 16, 10:00 a.m. to 12noon. Funeral service 12noon at Countryside Funeral Home and Crematory - 1640 Greenmeadows Boulevard (at Barrington Road) Streamwood/Schaumburg, Illinois. Interment will be for family only.

Dieter spent his first three years in Germany and moved to the United States with his parents and his younger brother, Helmuth. Here he learned to adapt to American life, took pride in working hard and living the American dream. In his early adult years, he met his beautiful and devoted wife, Diane S. Massat whom he married in 1973 and started a family. Survived by his five children: Heather (Brian) Costello, Amy Massat, Curtis (Jenny) Massat, Kevin (Rosalie) Massat and Timothy Massat. Loving grandfather of Jacob, Jonathan, Tyler, Lukas, Max, Kai, Guy, Makayla and Mason. Cherished son of Kurt O. Massat and the late Luise Massat. Dear brother of Helmuth (Carol) Massat, Paul (Kathy) Massat, Christa Bee and Ronald (Carlene) Massat. Also survived by his brother-in-law Wally Sikocinski and sister-in-law Patricia Nigro. Dieter was the the dear uncle of many nieces and nephews.

He took great pride in his family and always provided encouragement, truthfulness, passion for the wellbeing of others and kindness that had no price. He loved to share in conversations of the heart and his loving devotion to God. Dieter was a trade skill professional spanning over four decades of experience as a technical machinist. He always made sure his family came first and that no harm came to any of them.
He valued simplicity, virtue, honesty, integrity and a moral compass that kept his faith in God and his family safely guarded in his steadfastness. His spirit will live on within all of us.
