Jacob Gregory Klimek

Jake Gregory Klimek, age 39, resident of Fergus Falls passed away unexpectedly on Jan. 18, 2023 at his home.

Jacob Gregory Klimek was born on July 31, 1983 in Fergus Falls, MN to Gregory and Diane (Fields) Klimek.  He was the youngest of three brothers and grew up in Fergus Falls. He graduated from the Fergus Falls High School with the Class of 2002. Following his graduation, he worked multiple different positions in the construction and manufacturing fields. He also worked a stretch with his brother in power line construction industry.

Jake was a simple man who enjoyed spending time with friends and family. He participated in various sports in his youth and often still golfed. He enjoyed time outdoors, fishing and watching sports. He especially enjoyed watching the Vikings and Twins. He was seldom seen without his favorite twins cap. He was one of the kindest guys that you could ever meet and was always willing to help those in need. He was generous to a fault, even if that meant he would go without. Jake will be greatly missed.
