Dearest Friends,
It is with much sadness and pain that I write to tell you all that dear Klaus has passed away. Please know that Klaus left us last night peacefully and quietly, surrounded by his family and friends. He will be missed for his enormous personality and charisma, his passion and his love. Klaus was a beautiful man, in every sense of the phrase. He took great interest in life, enjoyed every moment, and made us all feel loved and cared for. In our hearts and souls we now must carry all of these memories, as a testament to his great being. His deep laughter, incredible stories of passion filled living, the little names he gave us, the music to fill the night air, will be the best memories to continue sharing. The tremendous pain we all feel is directly related to the tremendous love that Klaus shared with us.
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." - Emerson.
Your generous smile and amazing laugh will be in my heart for a long time to come. I am a better person for having known you, and I regret the time spent apart. I know that you will live the next life with the same passion and excitement as you have this one. Even now, in my mind's eye I can see you ahead of me, a poetry of motion captured for an instant as you lean towards the sun, smooth and fluid like an arrow in flight. Godspeed Klaus.
Love,
Steve "The Uncle"

Dearest Klaus,
Although I did not know you, I prayed for you. I got to know you a little through those that love you with the comments and photos they left. With this little glimpse of you, I mourn your loss in this world. I wish I could have been given the gift of meeting you...God must want your wonderful soul with him, so you can be an angel to all of us and pick us up when we are down, inspire us, protect us, and remind us that life is a gift that we should take every advantage of before we are gone too. You will be missed, but I know you live in our hearts and in the memories you leave behind.

Dear, dear Klaus,
I have known you only for less than a year and yet it feels like I have known you for a lifetime. Your departure hurts but we know it is only temporary. I guess that that perfect one, the ultimate femme fatale we could never define must be where you are now...
I will miss our last - to-be-continued - discussion, and your song and laughter. But you will always, always bring a big smile on my face, no matter how sad I may be. Goodbye my friend, until the next time we meet...
I'm so glad this blog continues to stay up. I still think about Klaus so much. ❤
