It is with an extremely heavy heart that Michele announces the sudden passing of her dear husband, Melvyn Douglas Klein, or as he preferred, Doug, always Doug. He passed away in Bow Island on Monday, November 14, 2022, at the age of 75 years. Doug was born in Maple Creek, SK., on January 31, 1947. He met Michele Arndt in 1965, after he finished his first term at STI and they were married in Maple Creek on December 7, 1968. Doug, Michele and Heather moved to Bow Island in 1970 where they started Klein Electric. He loved his work and continued until he was tragically taken from us. Along with Michele, Doug is survived by his daughter, Heather (Micheal) Morgan (Evan, Cole and Claire); son, Aaron (Nancy) Klein (Hayley and Gabrielle); daughter, Brandi (Chris) Patterson; uncle, Wilf (Babe) Mann as well as his siblings, David, Linda, Richard, Brian, Maureen, Susan, Darcy and Vic.
