Dennis Klein

Dennis W. Klein passed away on March 10th, 2021 at the age of 63. He was born and raised in Shawnee, Kansas to Harold and Bernice Klein, the third of four children. He graduated from St. Joseph's high school and started attending trade school to learn the art of welding. He worked as a welder for the majority of his life. Dennis enjoyed learning many new skills and talents, such as learning how to pilot a plane, scuba diving, photography, and became a skilled horticulturist.

In retirement, he enjoyed making art with his welding skills, and was fortunate enough to be able to take care of his parents in their older years. Dennis was known as the quirky neighbor in the neighborhood, but was willing to help anyone who needed a hand. He is preceded in death by his father, Harold. Dennis is survived by his mother, Bernice; son, Marcus; siblings Cindy (Bill) Dunham, Larry (Mary) Klein, and Sandy Biggs and many nieces, nephews and friends who will miss him dearly.

Services will be held at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Shawnee, Kansas on Tuesday, March 16th, 2021. Visitation will be from 9:15-10am with a rosary prayed at 10:00. The funeral mass will begin at 10:30am followed by burial at Resurrection Cemetery in Lenexa.
