It is with great sadness that we announce our father, grandfather and great-grandfather Jim Klein passed away peacefully with family by his side on Tuesday, February 19, 2019 at the Pasqua Hospital in Regina, SK. He was 76 years of age. Dad was born and raised on a farm near Vibank, SK. He liked the farm until he found his passion for heavy equipment. He started with a small backhoe and continued to expand into a thriving family business. His other passions were camping, traveling and spending time with family. Jim was predeceased by his parents Adam and Freda Klein; mother-in-law and father-in-law Adam and Julia Wolbaum; and his wife of 47 years Myrna. He is survived by his special friend and companion Sharon Carter; daughter Melinda (Bob); son Shawn; grandson Jordan (Jennifer); granddaughter Kayla (Christopher); his five great-grandchildren Kiara, Max, Ellie, Braeya and Aidyn; and many extended family and close friends.
