Timothy “Tim” A. Kleiman, 61, of Cedar Rapids, lost a courageous battle with a brief illness on May 4, 2022 at St. Luke’s Hospital. He was surrounded by family at the time of his peaceful death.
Tim was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on June 12, 1960 to Bill and Maxine Kleiman. He graduated from Jefferson High School in 1978 where he spent his high school years wrestling. After high school, Tim went to work in the trades. He was an operator at Coonrod Wrecker & Crane for the duration of his career. Tim was united in marriage to Christine on April 8, 1989. Tim and Christine welcomed their daughter Sarah into the world on August 15, 1989 and daughter Abbey on May 22, 1991. On August 31, 2019 Tim became a grandpa; this was his most cherished title that he received in life.
Tim enjoyed playing golf, hunting, riding snowmobiles and placing a bet any chance he had. He loved taking trips to Wisconsin’s Northwoods and always had fun stories to tell.
Tim is survived by his wife Christine, daughters Abbey (Brandt) Wieser and Sarah (Steven) Meester; parents Bill and Maxine Kleiman; brother Mike (Kelly) Kleiman all from Cedar Rapids; nephews Bobby (Adri) Trimble of Ely and Chris (Jamie) Trimble of California; grandsons Kade Wieser and Carsten Meester.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents Alex and Laura Seedorf and George and Vera Kleiman and several close friends.
