Joseph Michael Klemm

Joseph Michael Klemm died unexpectedly on the 11th of July 2025, at the age of 71. Born and raised in Wisconsin, he found his home in Sonoma County, CA.

He is survived by his beloved wife Jaki (née Hardy) and their cherished pets. Joseph also leaves behind his children, Jeff (Mindy), Matt (Andrea), and Bryan, and four grandchildren; as well as siblings Tim (Tana), Theresa, Jean (John), Bill, and Scott (Tonya). He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. He leaves behind many in-laws, including brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, and extended family on both sides, all of whom he held close to his heart. He was preceded in death by his parents, his infant brother Tony, and his nephew Logan.

Joseph built a successful career as a software engineer. When he wasn’t behind a computer screen, you’d find him on his Harley-Davidson taking to the open road. Together his career and his bike defined a well lived life.

A memorial service will be planned at a later date to celebrate Joseph’s life. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Joseph's honor to ASPCA.org.
