Paul Walter Klein, 58 of Cheyenne, Wyoming, but a native of Chicago, Illinois, transitioned home to Heaven on Sunday morning, July 17, 2016, from his home in Cheyenne.

He is survived by mother, Frances Klein of St. Charles, MO; son, Ramon Klein (Vania) of Daly City, CA; grandsons, Jesse Rodriguez and Christopher Klein of Daly City, CA; daughter, Angela La (Guaia) of Vallejo, CA; former wife, Elena Johnson of Daly City, CA; former wife, Colleen Klein of Chicago, IL; step-son, Ray Ray of Chicago, IL.; former wife, Michelle Ledesma of Cheyenne; niece, Annamarie Lita Alderette (Epifanio Garcia / Greg Hausenfleck) of Cheyenne; great-nephew, Daniel Glenn Hausenfleck of Columbus, WI, great-niece/Goddaughter, Samanatha Epiphany Hausenfleck of Columbus, WI; Great-great nephew, Andrew Michael Douglas of Columbus, WI; great-great nephew, Nickolas Scott Douglas of Columbus, WI; great-nephew, Xavier Epifanio Garcia of Torrington, WY; great-nephew, Pete Garcia (Ciera) of Honolulu, HI; great-niece, Jennifer Rene Garcia of Denver, CO; great-nephew, Isaac Noah Garcia of Cheyenne; niece, Celestine Nichol McCurry (Randy) of St. Charles, MO; and great-niece, Colleen Nichol McCurry, great-nephew, Brandon Mitchell McCurry, niece, Kimberly Ann Dayton (Brian), great-nephew, Nicholas Steven Dollenmaier, great-nephew, Chasen Nathaniel Dollenmaier, great-niece, Madison Raye Dollenmaier, and niece, Jennifer Klein, all of Libertyville, IL. We have lost a wonderful story maker and big hearted man who enjoyed his favorite "Old Style" beer in his hand and a cigarette in his other. Paul was well known to help out anyone who needed it. Now he bends the ears of the Angels with his stories along with his siblings he so missed that are in Heaven. We will just have to keep his stories going here on earth to keep his legacy of stories he loved to make up. Paul might not have been a perfect man as we all know, but his heart was true. Paul loved to invent as a child into his adulthood and he was master cook of passion. A plumber by trade but a carpenter by design, Paul had different ways of speaking words like, Bubba, kiddo, "Critten", "sockas", "mumzee", and the famous "never say goodbye because it's permanent....just say "toodles" or "later". We will miss some of these sayings but keep them in our hearts. Paul wanted everyone to know to open a can of beer of "Old Style" and enjoy it when you think of him. To his son Ramon, "take care of the family". To his love Elena, "take care". Visitation will be held Sunday, July 24, 2016, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with a Vigil for the Deceased and Rosary at 2:00 p.m. at the Lakeview Chapel at Schrader Aragon & Jacoby Funeral Home. Cremation will follow visitation and his family will hold a Funeral Liturgy on Monday, July 25th at 2:00 p.m. at St. Joseph's Catholic Church. Final resting place will be at a later date at Queen of Heavens Cemetery, Hillside, Illinois. Paul's memory will carry on by those who loved him and keep his stories alive. He will join those who have preceded him in death, father, Walter Klein; grandparents, Lita and Joseph Carrion; siblings, Raymond Nicholas Klein, Gerald Ronald Klein, and Lita Ann Klein; and great-niece, Jeanine Nichol McCurry. Appreciation to John Eggleston, Adolph Martinez, Aurora Garcia, Martin/Tawyna Garcia, Anthony West, and MaryLou Medina for their support and love.
