Howard Klein Obituary

Howard Klein passed away peacefully at his home on September 11, 2021, following a courageous and hard-fought two-year and one-day battle with glioblastoma. He was 63. Howard was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Shirley, and his brother, Andrew. He is survived by his wife, Susan; children Stephen (Elizabeth), David (Elizabeth), and Victoria Hoffberger (Trevor); and grandchildren, Noah and Emerson. Howard also leaves behind his brother, Michael (Clara); sister-in-law, Jayne; mother-in-law, Anne Mayne; brother-in-law, Thomas Kelly (Susie); and many beloved nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who became family.

The family will hold a private interment as well as a public memorial at noon on Sunday, September 19, at McDonogh's Horn Theatre (masks will be required). In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Howard Klein Class of 1976 Scholarship Fund, founded by his classmates as a lasting tribute to his service to the school. Donations may also be made to the National Brain Tumor Society or a charity of your choice.
