James Lester Kling

James Lester Kling entered the loving embrace of God on September 30, 2024. Born in 1953 to a close-knit and caring family, Jim lived a life marked by kindness, loyalty, and a generous heart. Though he never married, he was a devoted uncle, cousin, and friend to many. Jim dedicated many years of service to the Penn Hills School District before retiring due to health challenges. He is survived by his older brother and sister-in-law, John and Christina Kling of Clifton, VA; his nephew JT and family of Fort Lewis, WA; and his nephew Jeffrey of Burke, VA. Jim’s love for his family, friends, and his beloved pets, both dogs and cats, will be fondly remembered. His warmth and friendship touched the lives of all who knew him, and he will be deeply missed.
