Christopher Lee Klenk Obituary
Christopher Lee Klenk of Sterling, age 53, died November 25, 2025, of a massive stroke. Chris (i.e. Joey Bag of Donuts) was born in Flint, MI. on May 19, 1972, the sixth of six children born to the late Oscar L. and Betty A. (Snyder) Klenk.
Upon graduating from Standish Sterling High School (GED Program), he enjoyed life to his fullest. In 2000 Chris started his own trucking company Ozland Express of Sterling LLC. He ran a successful business for 25 years! In all his adventures he loved snowmobiling, motorcycling, ATVing, and racing his 1973 Nova SS which he wrecked.
He loved collecting antique tractors which he truly enjoyed riding and showing them off. After building his barn (man-cave), that was the place he socialized the most, by entertaining parties, barbecuing, and smoking different meat items for everyone to enjoy.
He finally met the love of his life on February 14, 2020, who was his entire world. Chris and Brenda would travel to Florida and Tennessee on multiple vacations and always came back with plenty of exciting memories to tell everyone.
Chris was the kind of man that would put an imprint on your life forever! Ozland Farm in Sterling, Michigan was truly his place of comfort. He always made sure it had a well-groomed lawn.
Surviving is his loving companion Brenda "Blondie" Jean Reo, siblings Oscar W. Klenk, Dee A. Klenk (Jim Holborn), Tracy P. Farmer (Alan Farmer), Stacie K. Klenk. Nephews and niece Jeremy, Jessica, and Jacob Marshall. He is preceded in death by his brother Ty A. Klenk and his parents.
