Kenneth T Klebba's Obituary
KENNETH T. KLEBBA Remembrance
Kenneth passed peacefully surrounded by his family on August 2, 2019 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was born on May 12, 1938 at his grandparents’ home in Freeburg, Missouri to his parents Adolph. L. Klebba and Antoinette M. (Wegman) Klebba. He married his loving high school sweetheart Betty Sue (Forck) Klebba on June 6, 1959 at Taos, Missouri. They recently celebrated 60 wonderful years of marriage.
He is survived by his wife, Betty, his dear children Daniel (Anita), Peggy McCandless (Stuart), Shari Solomon-Klebba (Cindy), and his caring grandchildren Jeremy (Erin), Stephanie, Nathan and Samantha. He was preceded in death by two children in infancy.
Growing up on a Missouri ranch, Kenneth became an engineer and had the grand opportunity to explore the world. He and Betty traveled to all 7 continents, from the Arctic to Antarctica, and around the world. They lived in several different countries. Kenneth thoroughly enjoyed playing the banjo and harmonica. He was a member of the Utah Old Time Fiddlers and Country Music Association for 25 years. Kenneth brightened so many people’s lives with his love of music. He is now on the greatest adventure of his existence – as a “Born Again” Bible believer. He is celebrating forever with Jesus, and his wish and prayer was that each of you become a “Born Again” Bible believer.
His family wishes to extend a genuine and heartfelt thank you to Aspen Ridge Hospice for all the loving care they gave Ken during the month of July.
Memorial service will be held August 17th at 11 a.m. at Canyons Church 1700 E. 7200 S.
In lieu of flowers, charitable contributions may be made to Canyons Church.
