Michael Klinker Obituary

Michael, 57, died on June 1, 2014 at his home in Boise, Idaho. Mike was born in Boise on May 17, 1957 to Ed and Eilene Klinker.
Mike loved to travel. Seeing the world was a large part of his life. His second love was "The Art of the Deal". Whether it was real estate, a travel package or just negotiating a car rental, he took joy in putting these deals together and including his friends along the way.
Mike was one of the longest living survivors of Hodgkin's disease. He battled it and it's complications for most of his adult life. All during this time he never complained, never used it as a crutch or excuse but fought each battle with quiet assurance. His strength continues to be an inspiration for us all.
He was preceded in death by his father Ed and will be missed by many good friends, his mother Eilene and brother Joe.
We will celebrate Mike's life on Sunday, June 29th from 12:30-3:00 PM at Accent Funeral Home, 1303 N. Main Street, Meridian, Idaho. Remembrances may be left for the family at www.AccentFuneral.com.
