He will be greatly missed. Mike was preceded in death by his father, Leonard Kleinhenz, and his brother, Rusty. He is survived by his mother, Mary Kleinhenz; his five sons, Casey, Mickey, Jamey, Danny and Tim Kleinhenz; his brothers, Steve, Eric, Kevin,and Keith Kleinhenz; his sisters, Susan Holland, Chris Daniels, Mia Leland, and Cindy Madi and his loving partner, Deborah Blair.

I am very sorry to hear about this. I always loved coming over and having Mr. Kleinhenz make up funny songs on the guitar. Or have him as the backyard wiffleball pitcher/commentator. What a fun person who will be missed.

Hey Mikey ~ I am so sad Baby Ella won't have the chance to know her Uncle Mike. However, I will make sure she knows what an amazing brother and uncle you were. I'm glad that you, Dad & Rusty are there to look after her. I love you and I will miss you so much.

Mike was full of fun and encouragement. He could always make a dark day brighter with his playful spirit. His love, encouragement, and humor will be sorely missed by many. You were a very special big brother. Love, Sis

My big brother Mike (Mikey) was larger than life. He believed in me and encouraged me to excel in sport. Whether it was showing off his weight lifting trophies or pictures of his pro football debut, he was my hero and big brother and I wanted my friends to know it. I love and miss you Mike.

I am so very sad that my cousin, Mike, is gone from this world. I was looking forward to visiting with him in years to come. Now, that won't happen. I am happy to have Mike's sister, Susan, as a cousin I feel close to. Today is all that we have for certain. Please rest in Peace, Mike. And, I'll see you on the other side. Love, Connie

I recorded Mike's very first voice demo and from that moment on, I knew that he was something special. He had more talent than he realized. I knew Mike as kind of a shy person but he always delivered when directed by a voice-over producer. I am shocked to hear Mike is gone. He will always be remembered by me. Our prayers are with his family during this time.

Mike was an inspiration to all of us who ran with him at Memorial Park. His wit, coupled with his outlook on life, made the miles melt away with laughter -- and it's absolutely true that no one ever beat Mike in a race.

We will miss him terribly.

Mike was one of the most talented voice over artist in Houston. He had amazing range and an ability to bring any script to life. He was a part of our family for 18 years and we will miss him dearly.

To The Kleinhenz Family;

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time.

The obituary notice so accurately described the many gifts and contributions Mike had and shared generously with his friends.

I'll miss his sense of humor and wonderful voice.

OH Mike was one of the FIRST people I met when I started running in 1978. I am very sad to learn of his death. My heartfelt prayers go out to his family and children.
