Rabbi Gary Klein Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Rabbi Gary Klein (Palm Harbor, Florida), who passed away at the age of 76, on December 7, 2025. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

In the sacred silence of farewell, Rabbi is released into the embrace of eternity, knowing that his light will continue to shine brightly in the tapestry of the lives of his loved ones. And as his memory is carried forward, may comfort be found in the knowledge that love is eternal, and that Rabbi's spirit lives on in the beauty that surrounds us.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his wife Ilene Klein; his children, Sara Kapell (Cantor Marshall Kapell) and Jefferey Klein (Heather Hammerling); his grandchild Romi Klein; his brother Allen Klein (Carol Klein); his siblings-in-law, Jay and Jackie Dorman; and his parents, Joseph Klein and Sylvia Klein (Schwartzstein).

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Rabbi Klein's name be made to the Rabbi Gary Klein L'dor V'dor Endowment Fund. To make a donation, please contact the Temple Office at 727-785-8811.
