It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our Bob on January 18th 2023, at the age of 61 years. Bob will be missed everyday by his three brothers, Don and Sharon Kleim from B.C., Murray & Geri Kleim from Alberta, and Ron Kleim from Saskatchewan; along with two sisters, Jackie & Jerry (spouse) from Alberta, Sandra Malitowski from Alberta; sister-in-law, Mary Kleim from B.C.; as well as numerous nephews, nieces, and friends. Bob is safe in the welcoming arms of his parents, Eric and Doris Kleim; brother, Ted Kleim; and sister, Barb Tighe. Bob was born in Moose Jaw ,Saskatchewan with Down syndrome. His upbringing was mostly in Medicine Hat, Alberta, and he went to Redi and Core for the disabled. Bob had special talents that included swimming, bowling, dancing, and singing. But it was his bowling that got him to the Special Olympics two times. Bob loved his family and could be seen with them on summer camping trips and holidays. He would entertain everyone with his sense of humor and antics. He had a smile that no one would forget. Bob loved life itself. Nature, animals, small children to name a few. He also liked his food and WWE in his earlier days. When people were sick you could find Bob as a care giver as well.
As you rest in peaceful sleep
Your memory we will always keep
Treasured memories like a golden chain
Link us until we meet again.
