Honoring David R Klein Jr’s Memory

Donation protected
David R Klein Jr was a beloved brother, son, and friend whose kindness and positivity touched everyone around him. He was the third youngest and fourth oldest of five siblings—Ashley, Tamara, Tomue, Kayla, and Taylor—and the cherished son of Sonya and David Klein Sr. David’s grandparents, Fred and Solange Klein, are still with us, and his family is heartbroken by his sudden loss. David and his beautiful girlfriend Ella Weaver went on a trip after a concert to surprise his sister and mother, but tragically, they were involved in a multi-fatality accident and are no longer with us.

David was passionate about skateboarding, basketball, and his work as an adult. He was always proud of his job and brought joy to those around him. David showed the world kindness and would do anything to make the people he cared about smile. He was proof that, no matter what challenges life brought, you could still choose love and positivity. David stood up for those who mattered to him and was always there for anyone in need. He made the world a better place and was the steady rock of our family from the day he was born. As his older sister, I spent much of my childhood babysitting David, and it was never a chore—I loved him deeply, and he was my favorite sidekick. I took him everywhere for years, and everyone I know has heard me brag about how wonderful all of my siblings are. David will always be my hero, and I am a better person because of him.

The skate community meant so much to David. From the day the local skatepark was built, David was there, learning, growing, and being accepted by everyone. The skatepark was a place where David could let his energy out freely and be openly embraced by the community. The Orcas skatepark community will always be close to our hearts, and we are grateful for the way it helped David stay the sweet and goofy guy we all knew and loved. Funds raised will help our family mourn, cover funeral expenses, and celebrate David’s memory. If a large sum is donated, any extra funds will be given to skateparks in David’s name, honoring his passion and the community that supported him.

We ask for your support in helping our family through this unimaginable loss and in celebrating David’s life and impact. Thank you for being part of this journey and for keeping David’s memory alive.
