In Memory of Dean "Ghost Rider" Kleis

Hello my name is Rebecca "Sweetness" and I'm fundraising for the funeral costs of

Dean "GhostRider" Russell Kleis - dedicated husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend - passed away unexpectedly for reasons yet to be known December 31st, 2022 in Grinnell, Iowa.

At first meeting Dean could be intimidating. He was very upfront and vocal everywhere he went.

When he spoke it was rarely politically correct, and he wasn't always able to say the words to explain exactly how he felt, but peel away some layers and Dean was a light for many people. He was the glue in our family.

He was our rock.

Our family is struggling with the change during these difficult times in which he would normally be a positive ray of hope and laughter always trying to make sure we were all happy.

Thank you for reading a bit about my father-in-law, my dad. We are sending this out not for pity or handouts but to allow those that want to and can, to send any assistance their hearts desire. The family thanks you all for your love and support during this time as we all take steps each day to love, honor, remember and make proud the man we all loved: Dean Russell Kleis aka Ghost Rider.
