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.
