Obituary
David Kluczynski of The Villages, Florida (born and raised in Toledo, OH) passed away on April 30, 2025 in the Emergency Room from a surgical complication of his recent knee replacement. He was preceded in death by his parents, Anthony and Evelyn H Kluczynski (Toledo, OH), and his brother, Robert Kay (Palm Springs, CA).
He is survived by his wife, Lynn of almost 39 years, and their 2 sons, Michael David Kluczynski (Chloe) and Alan Robert Kluczynski (Jacqueline). Also surviving are his brothers Lawrence (Cindy) Kluczynski, Philip Kluczynski, and nieces and nephews and their families.
Dave hired in at General Mills after he graduated from Start High School (76) and worked at the Toledo plant until its closing (26 years). He then worked at the same location when it transferred ownership a few times (2 years) and became Smucker’s(14years).
Dave was a devoted hands-on father. He played an active role in raising his two boys and they were his first priority. They were his life. He worked endless hours of overtime to provide for them. He was so very proud of both of them and all they have accomplished as adults.
Dave was also a devoted husband. He was a kind, caring, compassionate soul, who was loved and respected by those who knew him. He will be sorely missed by many. He loved Lynn with all his heart and showed her in many ways every day. When they made the decision to retire early to Florida, 8 years ago, they spent every waking moment together. They made many, many memories and loved each other until the end.
Dave was an avid golfer and hit the links whenever possible. He designated himself the unofficial Block Watch and kept tabs on the neighborhood from his chair by the window, he loved watching everything. He frequently commented about how much he loved their life in Florida, and had no regrets on the decision to relocate there.
It was very important to him to help those in need outside of our community and regularly donated to a local food bank. If you feel moved to honor his memory in some way, please make a donation to your local food bank. He would be honored.
So sorry to hear of Dave's passing. A great life cut too short. I will always remember the driveway fun, coaching and other good times we had on Pepperwood. Dave was a wonderful person and should always be remembered for that. Our heartfelt condolences to the entire Kluczynski family. John, Jeanette, John Michael, Maira. Kris and Hallie.
I am so very sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys during this very difficult time. Please accept our deepest and most sincere condolences.

I'll remember all of the times on the golf course with him, and how he loved being out there whether he was playing well or not.
Uncle Dave always wanted to know what you had going on, and how others were doing, and is a great example of how to live positively each and every day.
He will be missed.

Dave was such a wonderful man. He served people with a gentle smile in his warm, loving way. We were so blessed to know Dave while living in Florida. He did so many things for the children in the school where I teach. He was a constant force of love and kindness. When we moved into another house he just came silently and started filling his car with our household items to help us. He made many trips and was a Godsend. He was a really swell guy. We will miss Dave dearly. The world was a better place knowing you Dave.♥️
