Jacob Tolman Klein

Jacob Tolman Klein passed away on September 6, 2025, in Saint George, Utah, at the age of 28. He was born on January 13, 1997, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Derren Alfred and Rebecca Tolman Klein. Jacob was preceded in death by his grandparents, Julie and Al Welch, and his uncle Matthew Tolman. He is survived by his parents, Derren and Rebecca; his siblings Joshua (Mandi) Klein, Madison (Zack) Dorigatti, and Megan (Jake) Orchard; his nieces and nephews Berlin, Jay, Louise, Ray, and Jane; his grandparents Jay and Valerie Tolman, and Dago and Annette Klein; and by many aunts, uncles, and cousins who loved him dearly. Jacob attended Viewmont High School in Centerville, Utah, where he was known for his lively spirit and quick wit. He had a gift for bringing people together, filling every room with laughter, and lifting the spirits of those who felt left out. Always at the heart of fun, Jacob was the most reliable entertainer, a friend who could make anyone feel welcome. His deep empathy for the vulnerable and the ostracized was matched by his ability to make those around him smile. After High School, he served as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Warsaw, Poland Mission, where he developed a lasting love for the people and culture of Eastern Europe. Jacob’s happiest moments were often spent with his family. He delighted in trips to Disneyland, days on the water at Lake Powell, cheering for BYU football, golfing with friends and loved ones, and watching sports with his “bros.” These hobbies reflected his joy for life and his love of sharing experiences with those closest to him. Above all, Jacob was a devoted family member whose hopes and dreams centered on the happiness of his loved ones. He adored his nieces and nephews and spent countless hours and resources showering them with generosity. He was also a loyal and resilient working companion to his father, taking pride in his workmanship and in the skills he carefully honed. A Celebration of Life will be held in his honor on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at his family home. The family would like to thank the many friends, relatives, and medical professionals who cared for Jacob throughout his life. As Mr. Rogers once said: “We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say, ‘It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.’ Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.” A Celebration of Jacobs life will be held on Saturday, September 27th at 1:00 p.m., at the Klein residence 1280 West 5550 North, St. George, UT.
