Nathan Kleiber

Nathan was born in Iron Mountain, on July 4, 1953, son of the late Eugene “Speed” and Patricia (Lange) Kleiber. Nathan graduated from Kingsford High School in the class of 1971.

On May 26, 1979, he was married to Donna Lachapell at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church.

Nathan was a skilled mechanic, working for Edward’s until 1983, before opening his own shop, Nate’s Automotive. Nathan had a big heart and very laid back demeanor. He was very approachable, making all of the neighborhood kids feel like they were part of his family. Nathan’s aimless adventures in his ’64 Chevelle will be missed by the whole family.

Nathan will be deeply missed by his wife, Donna; three sons, Christopher (Allie) Kleiber, Shane (Katie) Kleiber, and Justin (Tamara) Kleiber; 10 grandchildren, Elias, Macey, Amelia, Hallie, Evan, Carson, Nathan, Parker, Trenton, and Huxley Kleiber; sister, Allyn Neff; and many other family and friends.

In addition to his parents, Nathan is preceded in death by an infant son, Shawn Kleiber.

A private graveside service will be held at a later date. Burial will be in the Quinnesec Cemetery.

Nathan’s family would like to thank the ICU staff at St. Vincent Hospital for their amazing care.

The family has entrusted the Erickson-Rochon & Nash Funeral Home of Iron Mountain with the arrangements.
