Eugene Frederick Klebs, 84, Beaver Dam, passed away peacefully at Hillside Manor in Beaver Dam on Wednesday, November 12, 2014. Eugene was born to Linda (Fischer) and Albert Klebs on February 12, 1930, in Beaver Dam. He had one sister, Charlene (Les) Quiring. He was a lifetime member of St. Stephen’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Beaver Dam. Eugene married the love of his life, Ramona Nagreen, on August 21, 1948. Together they lovingly raised their family of six children, Sandy (Joe) Garczynski, Beaver Dam; Gary (Mary) Klebs , Anchorage, AK; Debra (Paul) Giese-Pizzuti (Louisville, KY); Patsy (John) Hynes, Louisville, KY; Janice (Jeff) Tischler, Beaver Dam; and Craig Klebs, Miami, FL. Eugene enlisted in the National Guard in 1949, serving three years and and was stationed at Camp McCoy, Wisconsin. Eugene was employed as a truckdriver, working for CW Transport for 36 years, being awarded for his flawless safe driving, accident free record. Eugene loved hunting, fishing, trapshooting, traveling out of state to visit his children, and watching Packer games. However, most of all, he loved his family. He loved making his children and grandchildren laugh. He loved a good time and was always the first to make a good time happen. You could often hear him singing You Are My Sunshine with his granddaughters, or telling fishing and hunting stories to his grandsons. No matter what was happening, Eugene had a fun-loving, inspiring presence in his family and everyone wanted to be with him. Eugene is survived by and will be deeply missed by his wife of 66 years, Ramona, and his children, as well as his grandchildren, Joe Garczynski and Julie (Kevin) Orlowski; Mike (Mary) Klebs, Matt (Sarah) Klebs, Amy (Jacob) Mozolik; Stephanie Giese and Jason (Heather) Giese; Lindsay (Dick) Jones, Megan Hynes, Josh Beecher and Nate Tischler, Andrew Tischler, and Natalie Tischler; great-grandchildren Hannah and Allyson Garczynski, Eric Orlowski, and Melody and Brienna Tischler, Alexis and Allison Klebs, Connor, Gavin and Caroline Klebs and Colton Mozolik; and great-great-grandson Kayden Garczynski; many nieces and nephews, as well as his sister, Charlene (Les) Quiring of Beaver Dam.

The family of Eugene would like to thank all the wonderful nursing staff at Hillside Manor who so lovingly took care of him during the last few years of his life. John 6:39-40 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

Dear Mona and family: Please accept our sincere condolences at the loss of your husband and father. We have good memories of your family when you lived next door. Remember all the potatoes Eugene would plant?? Always a huge garden which meant a lot of work for the Mona not to mention the game he brought home after a successful hunt. We were happy to visit with him at Hillside Manor. He'll be missed. We feel badly we couldn't visit with your family as we were out of town for the weekend. Most sincerely, Gail and Floyd

Dear Deb, Please know that you and your family, and all those who are grieving the loss of your dad, will be in my thoughts and prayers at this time and in the days ahead. He sounds like such a wonderful and loving soul, and his picture is certainly full of love and joy. I was just thinking of my own father today, and was overcome with gratitude for the blessing that he was. And I thought to myself, every child should have the chance to feel that way about their dad. If sounds like you and your family were very blessed. May you all find comfort in fond memories, and may the Lord comfort you all in your loss. With Love, Phyllis Pizzuti Carlile

Dear Grandpa, you will be missed. I am truly thankful for all the memories, and for the expanded vocabulary you gave me! I will be sure to pass this on to my children and grandchildren. I will wait to see you again in Heaven. P.S. I think you stole my nose about 20 years ago. Can I have it back now? :)

My sympathy and love to all of you at this sad time. I have wonderful memories of Uncle Eugene as a child and beyond. He ALWAYS took my nose...I never seemed to get too old for that. :) My favorite memory is him dancing on the dance floor at my sister Jean's wedding. He had moves like John Travolta...laughed about it for many years!! Humor is a wonderful part of life and he was indeed a funny man. I am sad for all of you, his family, but what a wonderful place he is at now. Just think of the reunions he is having in heaven! Rest in Paradise, Uncle Eugene!

Dear Mona & Family, I pray that the peace of God will be with you, knowing that your loved one is with His Savior and waiting for that glorious reunion one day. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." (2 Corinthians 5:6-8) Love & Prayers, Jean Hynes
