Jamey Lee Kleffner
July 14, 1979 ~ November 25, 2019
Jamey Lee “Snoopy” Kleffner, 40, of Rich Fountain, MO departed for heaven on Monday, November 25th 2019, at his home. Jamey was born July 14th, 1979, the son of Alan and Marlene (Kemna) Kleffner.
Jamey enjoyed hunting, fishing, playing cards, and spending time on the Osage River with his family and friends. One of his most rewarding life accomplishments was successfully running Double J Screen Printing Business and managing A&M ball team. Jamey's contagious personality brightened up the room and was guaranteed to make you smile. No words can described how much he will be missed.
Jamey leaves behind his parents, Alan and Marlene Kleffner of Rich Fountain, brother Josh (Amber), nieces Lydia and Vivian, nephew Grantley Kleffner also of Rich Fountain, maternal grandmother, Martha Kemna of Freeburg and many other relatives and friends.
Jamey was proceeded in death by: his paternal grandparents Alfred and Dorothy Kleffner, maternal grandfather, James Kemna, maternal great grandparents, Louis and Katie Herzing and Lawrence and Adophine Kemna.
As hard as it is to lose a love one to suicide, we should not also lose the truth and warmth to their mystery and their memory. While Jamey's death leaves us feeling raw, struggling for understanding, at loss to explain how this could happen and needing to resist any negative feelings, we can also understand this disease process. And this asks for our understanding. Everyone's life is its own mystery, and not always open to outside understanding. Jamey, no doubt is as grieved as we are that his unwanted death has caused so much pain. But in no doubt, we as a family ask for continued love and affection and especially for your understanding.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Jamey Kleffner Memorial Account at the Maries County Bank, Belle, MO.
Visitation for Jamey will be held from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm on Friday, November 29th, 2019, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Rich Fountain, MO with a funeral mass following at 12:00 pm, celebrated by Father Debo. Burial will follow in the parish cemetery.
Dulle-Trimble Funeral Home in Westphalia is in charge of the arrangements.

I told Jamey when he was little that I’d give him a dollar for a kiss…. after that he’d always want to give me a kiss. I gave him lots of dollars. Such an adorable man. RIP. Love him.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for the family.

I remember babysitting for him when he was a little tyke. He was always happy and loved his tractors Our deepest sympathy goes out to the entire family.
Alan and Mar I am so sorry for your loss. Words don’t even begin to describe this loss. We have so many good memories of Jamey at softball, A & M Christmas Parties. I will fondly remember the crazy gift exchange gifts! The many nights of Texas Hold Em and just his good heart. ❤️
In the class of ‘97, he was the “other” Jamey. Always a jokester and many great times. I am deeply saddened to hear and praying for the Kleffner family. From, Jamie Bax

Im so sorry Marlene! You are in my thoughts!
When Jamey was a small boy, I told him I’d give him a dollar for a kiss. After that, every time I saw him, he’d ask for a dollar per kiss. He was always the sweetest young man. Rest in Peace Jamey!ߌ»
I want to thank you for the brave and generous mention of suicide in your loved one’s obit. I have no doubt it made others who have endured this tragedy feel less alone. My brother-in-law competed suicide 7 years ago. May you find healing. Bless you for your courage.

Deepest sympathy and condolences. Coach Uffmann
We want to let Jamey’s parents along with NBC all of his family our deepest sympathy. Bill worked with Alan at ABB and I have been friends with Laurie for years. Please tell them all hoe very sorry we are. I know a child’s death has to be one of the greatest but we understand how a death by suicide is devastating. I ( Peggy) lost my dearest sister by it b two years ago. We tend to sit and wonder why. We ask ourselves why all the time. When I had talked to her one day before. I never get my answers . I feel not for me to know. I had the last text conversation on my phone and about 3 months ago . I figure god had sent me a message it was time to let go . The tears are always there but I know to big up and go on. I try to just remember all the great times we had with her. Most of all I try to let those good times stay with us . Most of all that we apologize for missed Jamey’s servivces. You are all in our prayers and in our hearts at this time of need. We know now that Jamey is in the best place there is and someday we will see those loved ones again and it won’t matter. Please take care. Sincerely. Bill and Peggy Kempker
