Myron John Kloos was born on October 15, 1932, in Taunton, Minnesota, to John and Delores (Eishens) Kloos. He peacefully passed away on January 13, 2026, at the St. Cloud VA Medical Center, surrounded by his loving family. Myron graduated from Minneota Minnesota High School and proudly served two years in the United States Army, Korean War, stationed in Germany. Following his honorable discharge, he continued his education at Minneapolis Business College. He married Bernice Louise Hamerlinck at St. Edward Catholic Church in Minneota, Minnesota. Their marriage, which lasted an extraordinary 68 years, was a true partnership—marked by adventure, joy, and countless cherished memories. Together, they raised their family in Wells, Minnesota, where Myron worked as the manager of the Farmers Co-op Elevator until his retirement. He was also a proud member of the American Legion for 50 years. Known for his gift of storytelling, Myron loved to share tales of his life and experiences, always with the intent of bringing a smile to others. He especially enjoyed family visits, indulging in desserts, and the occasional lucky streak at the casino. Myron John Kloos will be remembered for his kind heart, dedication to his family, and lifelong service to others. He touched the lives of many and will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of knowing him. A special thank-you to the St. Cloud VA Medical Center 49-1 staff for taking great care of Myron.
Above all, Myron was a devoted family man. He leaves behind a rich legacy as the proud father of ten children: Douglas (Annette) Kloos of Owatonna, MN; Kevin (Peggy R.)

He was a beloved grandfather to 26 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild. He is also survived by his sister, Margie Breyfogle of Taunton, MN and sister-in-law, Agnes Kloos of Amarillo, TX. Each of them carries a part of Myron’s spirit—his warmth, strength, and steadfast love. He was preceded in death by his wife, Bernice; his parents, John and Delores Kloos; his brothers, Raymond, Robert, and Leroy Kloos; and his sisters, Bonnie Hammel and Rosemary “Tootsie” Fales.
