Mr. Strickland is survived by two daughters Lindy Gilbert and Marty Rogers; three sons Robert Strickland, Randy Whitten, and Robbie Whitten; one sister Benay White; three brothers Jerome Strickland, Truman Strickland, and Alton Strickland; eight grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

Kindred was a simple man who loved to hunt, fish, live off the land (he was a master at campfires), fish frys and Friday night dances. He received his marketing degree from Jacksonville State University and owned the Little Giant Meat Market in Rainbow City, Alabama. He was a published author and songwriter. He will be greatly missed by all.
