Visitation will be held from 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm Thursday, December 4, at Parkway Funeral Service, 2330 Tyler Parkway, Bismarck, where a rosary/vigil will begin at 7:00 pm. Jeffrey was born July 9, 1981, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to James and Lan Klop; he attended Parchment High School and graduated from Michigan State University in May of 2004 with a Bachelor's of Science and Central Michigan University in May of 2009 with a Master's of Science in Administration. On June 6, 2009, he married Krissondra Wolf Klop in Bismarck, ND. After graduating from Michigan State University, he worked for GlaxoSmithKline as an executive pharmaceutical sales representative and lived in Bay City, Michigan, where he met Krissondra. They established their first home in Traverse City, Michigan in 2008, and he continued to work for GlaxoSmithKline as a vaccine sales representative. Upon moving to Bismarck, he was employed by Sanford Health as a clinic manager. Jeff's children were his greatest pride and joy. We will all remember him as a very accomplished man as a father, husband, son, brother, and friend. He was known for his loyal friendship, witty personality, and ability to create nicknames for everyone upon first meeting them. His outgoing personality immediately made new acquaintances feel like an old friend. He was an active outdoorsman with a love for bass fishing and hunting waterfowl which went beyond the catch or a fine shot. Because of his love and respect for nature, he very seldom kept a fish and would spend extra time looking for any wounded game. The thrill of the hunt was overmatched by his generous heart; his greatest enjoyment was enabling others to grow their love for the outdoors. Thank you Jeff for giving us the best cast and ideal shot. Jeff is celebrated in life by his wife, Krissondra and their children, Henry 3.5 years, Calvin 2 years, and Emilia 11 weeks, Bismarck; father and mother, Jim and Lan Klop, Kalamazoo, MI; maternal grandparents, Luong and Nga To, Kalamazoo, MI; his brothers, Marc Klop, Kalamazoo, MI, Richard Najoua Klop, Madison, WI, and Matthew Randi Klop, Grand Rapids, MI; his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Gerald and Kim Wolf; his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Ryan and Nikki Wolf; his nieces, Haydn and Reese Wolf; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. Jeff is welcomed with love by his paternal grandparents, Richard and Ann Klop. Memorials may be given to the Klop Family youcaring.com website: Klop Cancer Crush-A-Thon.
