Michael J. KLEIN

My wife Shirley and I always remember the strong work ethic and moral standard Mike maintained while he and I worked together in Calgary. We also admired him for his athletic prowess which included biking in the Cascade Mountains. During his retirement party from Agrium, he cited how much he was looking forward to returning to his beloved Spokane in his dream house. It was such a shock when he was struck with his disabling illness shortly after, denying both him and Diane of living out a...

Dear Dianne, and Rich and Mary,
It was a delight to meet both you and Mike over the years as you visited Mary's home in Sammamish, as we are their neighbors. We are thankful that Mike is finally in the presence of his Lord and Savior--healed and whole! Yet we mourn for your loss of your life partner, and for Mary's family, as well. You all are in our prayers. May God bind up your hearts in the days and months ahead.

Dianne --
So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Great memories of the many times with the Lilac City Investment Club activities and Mike's always fun participation. Though I've been gone from the "Spokane Scene" for many years, Mike has often been in my thoughts. Blessings to you and the family ---

Dear Dianne and family,
Barbara and I are very sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I met Mike in the third grade at PAV and have many fond memories. Grade, high school, Boy Scouts, Altar boys (Mike was the other server at the first mass I served at St. James) and the sharing of friends(especially Ken and Denny). We knew early on what a lot of Mike's friends and co-workers learned later, Mike was
always a gentle man and a gentleman.
A special love and thank you to you Dianne for being a...

Dear Diane and family, was so saddened to hear of Mike's death. I know, Diane, you were a very loving caregiver all those years. I still remember Mike and you visiting Bismarck and what a zest for life you both had. I never did get to play that tennis match with Mike!! We'll get 'er done in heaven!! I have been down your road, Diane, and just want you to know I am praying for you and Mike, thinking of you and enveloping you in a huge hug! Sandy Wald-clooten

Dianne,
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss.
Although I did not work closely with Mike, it was obvious to me that his work ethic and integrity were second to none. His heart was bigger than a room and his caring actions for others were evidence of it.

condolences and prayers from Kathy & Jim Lingo

Dear Diane and Family,

I worked with Mike for many years in Calgary. It was always a toss up which of us were the first ones at work to put on the coffee pot. I was deeply impressed with how valuable he was to our company, and what a high moral compass he had in every thing he did.
We recall how excited he was to retire and move back home Washington to enjoy with his family. So sad he wasn't able to maintain his active life and realize his dreams.

Wishing the family our...

Diane, Mary and Michelle
So sorry for your loss. Mike was special. Any time Mike was in Portland I would get a call so we could get together and share old time memories from high school and catch up on family. We played together on Central Catholic's basketball team and I think Msr. Murphy will talk about some memorable moments on the court. Mike was a truly remarkable man with many talents and compassion for others. He will be missed but never forgotten.
