Arthur Kleabir

Arthur James "Jim" Kleabir went home to be with the Lord November 26, 2014. He was born November 20, 1934 in Wayne, Michigan in a church converted to a home built by his grandfather. He resided with his loving family in Michigan for 23 years. He then moved to Phoenix, Arizona in October of 1958 where he worked for the city of Phoenix for 30 years as a sanitation engineer.

For 30 years, he was married to his sweetheart, Mary Seay, whom he adored. Jim loved his family and friends from Pinnacle Community Church where he found peace and friendship and was accepted unconditionally. In attendance for 10 years, he was involved and helped coordinate a men’s Bible study which gave him so much pleasure.

Preceding Jim’s passing are his wife, Mary, his mother, Marjorie, and his father, Arthur. Our beloved Jim, brother and uncle are survived by Carolyn (sister), Butch (brother-in-law), Laura (niece), Chris (nephew-in-law), Steve (nephew), Maureen (niece-in-law), Alyssa, Megan and Kylee (great nieces) and many wonderful cousins. He was a special man who wore his faith, heart and love on his sleeve and was loved by all.
