Steven Klein

December 30, 1946 – December 28, 2025

Steven Klein, a man known by all as the kindest soul they had ever met, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 28, 2025, just two days shy of his 79th birthday.

Steve was the devoted husband of Edie Klein, with whom he shared 56 years of a beautiful, enduring marriage. Together, they built a life rooted in love, laughter, and family. He was the proud father of Michael Klein (Joy Errico) and Jodi Klein (Cathy Klein).

To his grandchildren- Jackson, Lauren, Aidan, Olivia, Zoe, and Addison -he was a constant source of encouragement and love. He is also survived by his brother, Ron (Faye Klein), and his sister, Amy.

A self-made man, Steve was the owner of Steve's Quality Catering, a business he built from the ground up and took immense pride in. He took his craft seriously-often jokingly reminding his family that he was the only "officially licensed food handler" among them. While he fed many through his business, his favorite meals were the ones shared with family, especially if they ended with a giant bowl of ice cream.

Steve's warmth was matched only by his sense of humor. Late in life, he took up golf; while he would be the first to admit he wasn't particularly good at it, he truly enjoyed the time spent on the course.

Above all, Steve was a "Friend to All." Whether you knew him for decades or minutes, he made you feel seen and valued. His favorite place to be was on the sidelines of a soccer field. He spent decades cheering loudly for Mike and Jodi, and later, made it to every game he possibly could for his grandchildren. He was, and always will be, his family's biggest fan.

I am fortunate to have known my brother-in-law Steve as my dear sister´s boyfriend and then husband since I was a young child. One of my fondest memories was his patience in teaching me how to drive. Our memories of Steve will forever be a blessing. Mishele and Don.
