Ronald R. Klein, age 70, of Three Rivers, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, December 13, 2025 in Mendon. He was born in Vicksburg on April 21, 1955, the son of Stanley and Eleanor (Cooley) Klein. Ron attended Mendon High School and was part of the infamous class of 1973. He was a natural athlete, leading the SJV in scoring his senior year in basketball, and earning all-conference. On March 20, 1997 he marrfied the love of his life, Monica Rohrbough.
Ron was a free spirit who enjoyed MANY things in life. He loved hunting, going fishing, and spending time outdoors doing odd jobs. Motorcycle trips with his friends was something he always looked forward to, no matter how long the cruise, he simply enjoyed riding his Harley down country roads. Ron loved going to the casino, and then blaming Monica for his misfortune on the slots. He was an avid Chicago Bears fan and cheered on his Chicago White Sox. Even though he was a Chicago fan, he would still take his good buddy “Big Al” to a Detroit Tigers game every year. The great thing about Ron, you could hear him before you saw him; his laugh could fill a room. He was a giving person, a busy person, and yes, unique in every aspect. Ron had MANY friends, all of whom he connected with on a different level; once you were Ron’s buddy, you were in for a treat. Most importantly, Ron’s family (especially the grandkids) meant the world to him.
Ron is survived by his loving wife of 28 years, Monica Klein; two daughters; Alesha Klein (Ben Graves) and Samantha (Justin) Holden; four grandchildren; Brooke Mercer, Maddie Rose, Cullen Holden, and Annabelle Holden; his mother Eleanor; his brother, Larry Klein. He was preceded in passing by his father, Stanley Klein; mother-in-law, Glenna Gean Simonovic; sister-in-law, Margo Klein; and his son, Wesley Klein.
Visitation for Ron will take place on Saturday, December 20, 2025 from 10am until 1pm at Crossroads Missionary Church (22605 M-60, Mendon, MI 49072) with services beginning at 1pm with Pastor Chuck Lambdin officiating. Following the service, burial will be held at Moorepark Cemetery. Condolences and memories may be expressed to Ron’s family at eickhofffuneralhome.com
