Langevin-Mussetter Funeral Home
YAKIMA - James "Jimmy" Robert Crane Kleeschulte, 66, of Yakima, loving father, brother & friend, left to be with his creator on Wednesday, August 12, 2009 in Yakima. James was born to Edward Lee Crane and Virginia Lorene Rogers Crane in Troy, Missouri on March 26, 1943.
As a young boy, he traveled from Missouri to Washington State to work with his family. James later married the love of his life, Paula Elaine Matthews, on August 12, 1967 in St. Charles, Missouri. Having many fond memories of Washington, he returned in 1979 to the Lower Valley to raise his seven daughters.
James was blessed with being a gifted artist and contributed to the Seattle art scene. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, horses and a good boxing match. He will be dearly missed.
He is survived by his daughters, Michelle White, Angela Torres, Dawne Kleeschulte, Tonia Kleeschulte, Jamie Kleeschulte and Megan Alvarez and families, all of Yakima; loving sister, Sissie Courtway and family; brother, Billy Joe Kleeschulte of Richwoods, Mo.; and ex-wife, Paula Matthews, of Naches, Wash.
He was preceded in death by his first born son Rico, daughter Tillie, brothers Jerry Crane and Howard Connor Kleeschulte, father Edward Crane, stepfather Elmer Kleeschulte, and mother Virginia Kleeschulte.
"When tomorrow comes and I am not by your side, when your life goes on and I am but a memory, never forget that I am always by your side. Never regret those fading last words, which are always held close to my heart. An angel came along that day and took me by the hand, she whispered softly in my ear, 'Your heart belongs to heaven.' Those tears that gently sweep your cheek will always touch my heart. You may feel alone and feel such pain, and wish to see me again. But yet the pain for me is worse, as I stand against the guarded gates, as heaven is now my home. I have but to see you and no, I can't touch your hand. But yet my heart will always belong to you."
A Celebration of James' life will be held at a later date in Missouri.
Langevin-Mussetter Funeral Home is entrusted with the arrangements.
