Jan Klapp

Jan Michael Klapp, age 63, passed away on February 8th, 2020, in Wildwood, Missouri. He was preceded in death by his parents, Gerard and Frances Klapp and by three siblings, Corinne, Nick and Kurt. He is survived by his two children, Noelle and Maxx, son-in-law Tyler Witte and grandchildren Dylan and Landon. His remaining siblings are Greg (Jan), Lorinda, Toni (John Muldoon), Charles, Mary (Ken Joggerst), Jeanne (John Sullivan) and Laura (Brad Bergsicker), along with numerous nieces and nephews.
Jan was a sheet metal worker at his family’s company for 30 years. His passion was golf, although golf didn’t return the favor! For 20 years he shared his life with his partner Judy Erker. He celebrated many memories with her children, Jack, Tony, Andy, Erin and Abby and all of her grandchildren. He will be missed by those who loved him.
A memorial gathering will take place on Sunday, February 16th, from 3 to 6pm at the Manchester Elks Lodge, 2242 Mason Lane in Manchester, Missouri.
