John Klavenski Jr., 57, departed this life peacefully on Friday, June 20, 2014 in Melbourne, FL. Born on October 17, 1956 in Springfield, MA, John was the beloved son of the late John and Patricia Redmond-Klavenski. John leaves memories to be cherished by his children, Suzann and Shawn Klavenski; longtime friend and companion, Cheryl Miller; sisters, Ann Bull (Charles), Gretchen Osowski (Stanley) and Jacqueline Romani; two adoring grandchildren; nieces, nephews and extended family members; and his kitty, Caesar. He will be remembered as a hardworking and generous man who was always willing to lend a helping hand. John has been a resident of Brevard for three years coming from Boston, MA.
