Calvin L. "Crummy" Klitz, age 48, passed away unexpectedly on November 20, 2024, in Minneapolis, MN. Calvin entered the world on an icy morning weighing only three pounds. He was sent to the Neo-Natal Center for 30 days until he gained some weight. From early on Calvin was affectionately known as Crummy. He graduated from St. Lawrence Seminary in Mount Calvary. He received a full scholarship to Concordia College in Fargo Moorehead receiving his bachelor's degree and went on to Carlisle School of Business receiving his masters. Crummy worked his first job at the Menominee Tribal Clinic with Jerry Waukau. Later in his career, he was the Vice President of HR at Bard Pharmaceuticals until recently he was the director at Abbott Pharmaceuticals. In his free time, he enjoyed traveling, was a foodie, enjoyed eating out and spending time with his spoiled dog and companion, Codak. Crummy always looked his best and had extravagant shopping sprees. He was a social and outgoing man and made countless friends. Crummy was easy to talk to and had a bright happy presence when he walked in the room. Calvin will always be remembered for his selfie poses in sunglasses and his photos of all the delicious food he ate. We've couldn't have asked for a better son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, godparent or friend and will miss him every day. If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.
