Daniel "Dan" Klitzman

Daniel “Dan” Carl Klitzman, age 79 years, of West Bend was unexpectedly called home to be with the Lord on October 13, 2024.

Dan was born on August 29, 1945, in Hartford to Erwin and Loretta Klitzman (Wagner).

Dan graduated from Hartford Union High School in 1963.  He enlisted in the United States Navy in January of 1964 and proudly served for four years.  When he returned to the United States, he started working at WE Energies where he was employed for his entire career.

Dan was an avid reader and enjoyed spending time at the West Bend Public Library. Listening to music was just as important as reading he loved going to concerts with his children and grandchildren, he enjoyed all sports, and watching televised sporting events with his family and friends.

Those Dan leaves behind to cherish his memory include two children, Timothy (Laurie) Klitzman and Danielle (Kim) Marx; three grandchildren, Mikayla (Chris Freeman) Klitzman, Alexandra Klitzman, and Austin Maurer; siblings, Thomas

Klitzman and Margaret (Scott) Glass.   He is further survived by former wife and dear friend, Marie (Mike) Selenka; as well as nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends. We’d also like to thank Jim and Betty for their friendship and for always watching over Dan.

In addition to his parents, Dan was preceded in death by his brother, William “Bill” Klitzman; and sister-in-law, Judy Klitzman.
