Support Kids Fishing: In Memory of Dave Klein

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind-hearted Supporters,

We come to you with heavy hearts but also with a sense of purpose as we launch this GoFundMe campaign to honor the memory of Dave Klein. Organized by his daughters, Andrea and Stacy, and wife RoseMarie we seek your support in commemorating a life well-lived and continuing the legacy of love and generosity that defined Dave.

Dave was an extraordinary individual who touched the lives of everyone around him. One of his greatest passions in life was fishing, and he found immense joy in sharing that passion with others. Whether it was a fishing for walleye, bass, on a lake, or on the Mississippi River, Dave had a knack for turning each fishing trip into an unforgettable experience.

In addition to his general love for fishing, Dave held a special tradition close to his heart. Every year, he embarked on an annual father-daughter fishing trip with his daughters, Andrea and Stacy, as well as his grandsons Graham and Emmett. These trips were not just about catching fish; they were about creating cherished moments with his family.

In remembrance of Dave's love for fishing and his generous spirit, we have decided to pursue a cause that would make him proud. We are launching this fundraiser to sponsor a fishing trip for kids in need—an endeavor that very much aligns with Dave's values.

The funds raised will be dedicated to organizing a special fishing excursion, hosted by his dear friend and fishing guide Joe, allowing children who may not have the opportunity otherwise to experience the joy that Dave found in fishing. Our goal is to create lasting memories for these kids, just as Dave did for countless others throughout his life.

While Dave may no longer be with us, his spirit lives on through the love and memories he shared. Let's come together to honor his legacy by creating a positive impact in the lives of children who could use a little extra joy.

Thank you for being a part of this tribute, and for helping us continue Dave's legacy of love, generosity, and the simple joy found in a day spent casting a line.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Andrea, Stacy, and RoseMarie
