Timothy (Timmy) David Kleve
Timothy (Timmy) David Kleve passed away peacefully in Vero Beach, Fla., on January 3, 2024, after a short illness. He was surrounded by loved ones as he left this world.
Tim served in the United States Navy from January of 1978 until his honorable discharge in January of 1982.
Tim lived for his family and friends. He brought people together with his genuine love of others and kind spirit. He was loved by many.
Tim was born in Minneapolis, Minn., on January 30, 1957, to Kenneth and Betty Kleve.
He is survived by his partner, Steven Smith; siblings, Diane (Keith) Cotch, Tom (Mary) Kleve, Lisa (Russell) Wiley and Beth (Mike) Degnan. Tim is also survived by many dear nieces and nephews, family, and very dear friends near and from MN, FL, NY and PA.

"Funeral Blues by W. H. Auden" says how many felt about Tim, "He was my North, my South, my East and West; my working week and my Sunday rest; my noon my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong."
