Obituary for Marvin G Kleyn

Marvin G  Kleyn
Surrounded by his family, Marvin George Kleyn, 80, a longtime Quincy resident went to be with the Lord on November 22, 2017 in Wenatchee, WA.

Marvin was born on July 10, 1937 in Zillah, WA to Jasper and Jenny Kleyn. He graduated from Zillah High School in 1955 where he was an outstanding athlete, particularly in football.

He married Tressa Broers on September 14, 1956. They lived in the Yakima Valley and Walla Walla, before settling in Quincy in 1971. They raised four sons--Glen, Keith, Mitch and Kurt.

Marvin was known for his strong work ethic. He worked for Western Farmers and Odessa Union, while also operating a family farm. After he retired in the early 1990’s, he started Kleyn’s Auto Sales in Ephrata.

Throughout his lifetime, Marvin was a member of the Christian Reformed Church. People often commented on his beautiful singing voice in the church choir. He was also a popular caller for the Sagebrush Swingers square dance group that he and Tressa belonged to.

Many fond memories were made traveling in his motorhome with family and friends through the years. Marvin especially enjoyed spending his winters in Palm Springs. He was a car enthusiast who won several awards in classic car shows around the area. His greatest joy was attending his children’s and grandchildren’s sporting events, auto races and other activities.

Marvin is survived by his loving wife, Tressa, his four boys, and their families. Glen Kleyn of Quincy; Marcy and Buck Gillmore, Kimber, Eva and Teagan of Big Bear, CA; Kiley and Whit Dixon, Paisley, Lane and Heston of Manson, WA; Keith and Darci Kleyn, Samantha, Morgan and Mackenzie of Quincy; Mitch and Rhonda Kleyn, Kasey and Brooke of Quincy; and, Kurt and Chelan Kleyn, Trenton and Walker of Ephrata.

A service celebrating Marvin’s life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 29, 2017 at the Christian Reformed Church, 420 H Street SE, Quincy, WA.
