John "Jack" A. Kleyla

Jack, a navy veteran, departed this world on January 2, 2024. He left behind a legacy of humor, a passion to continue learning, and generosity. He was a true jack-of-all-trades and was incredibly handy around the house and to anyone who asked for help. Jack's talents extended beyond the realm of home repair as he was an amazing carpenter; crafting and building anything with precision and creativity. Jack was also a voracious reader and his adventures extended beyond his books. He greatly enjoyed traveling to different places around the world opening him up to new cultures and experiences. A man of few words, Jack was a devoted family man, a loving husband, father and grandfather. To honor the memory of Jack, let us remember the joy he brought to our lives, the problems he solved, his creativity and the love he shared. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. Jack was preceded in death by his parents Bernard and Maude Kleyla; brother Richard Kleyla; grandson Daniel Cook. He is survived by his loving wife of 66 years Marion C. Kleyla; children Kimberly (David) Huff, Bernard (Vickie) Kleyla, Karen (Larry) Cook, Mark (Leslie) Kleyla; and 5 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren; and many more family and friends.
