Donald Klein, age 72, died peacefully on February 25, 2020 surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Madison on August 30, 1947, the son of Francis and Delphine (Greiber) Klein. He married Robin Weeden on June 10, 1983. He served in the U.S. Air Force from 1967 to 1971 as a jet engine mechanic working on B-52s and KC-135s. He was a lifetime member of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. After leaving the Air Force, he had many careers: semi-truck owner/operator, farmer, salesman.
He enjoyed family, friends, motorcycles, fireworks (put on by his son), truck/tractor/horse pulls, country living, and farm life. He was compassionate, caring, and loved being around people. He will always be remembered for his ability to make people laugh and to tell a great story.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Robin, his children, Nicholas (Maria) and Erin (Mickey) Moe, four brothers and a sister, Arthur (Lois), Carol (Brent) DeWitt, Lloyd (Deb), Jerome (DeAnne), Duane (Kristen), and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents. A visitation and social will be held from 11 am to 3 pm on Saturday, February 29th at the American Legion Post 279 in Marshall with military honors to follow.

Hello Robin and Family. I was deeply sadden to hear of Don’s passing. I am his cousin son of Leander and Verena I am sending you and your family positive thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. One of my fondest memories of Don would be when I would run into him on Sundays in Arlington at the auctions. He and would chat for hour. You must remember those days because he’d come home with more tools ?. Sorry I was not able to attend last Saturday as we were out of town ! Take care in knowing that we care deeply about you and your family

Dear Robin and family - please accept my heartfelt sympathy. My happy memories of Don and his positive attitude will remain with me. I feel blessed to have watched him grow from a 14 year old to adulthood and into his 70's. Don's 71st birthday party, hosted by you, was particularly memorable. Thanks for inviting me. Prayerfully, Classmate Fr. Ray Dischler

Robin and family, you have our deepest sympathy. Don was a real treat to know and have as a friend, he will be missed. He was truly a genuine person meaning he was the same guy now as he was when I met him way back when. Sorry we can't make the services as we already have a family funeral the same day. Go figure. Love you guys, Dave & Barb.
