Johannes Werner Klein, 57 of Advance, began the next chapter of his life on Sunday, January 14, 2024, at Kate
B. Reynolds Hospice House of Winston-Salem surrounded by "all his girls."
Hannes was born on October 10, 1966, in Bamberg, Germany, to Werner and Rosemarie Klein, but spent most
of his childhood living in Darmstadt. From a young age he embraced a life of the mind, reading every book in
the local library but having a special fascination for physics, space travel, and computers. His excitement knew
no bounds when he saved up enough money to purchase a Commodore 64, the first personal home computer,
much to the annoyance of his two younger siblings because of its impact on the use of the phone line.
Hannes knew from an early age that he wanted to be an aerospace engineer. He made and launched his first
rocket at age seven with a payload of two terrified ants. It went 70 feet into the air. After the completion of
secondary school, he attended the Technical University of Munich to study mechanical and aerospace
engineering. As part of that seven-year program, he was one of two students selected to complete a master's
thesis at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Much to his surprise, within a month of arriving in
Cambridge and beginning his work designing the tethered satellite system, his whole universe expanded when
he opened the door of the Day Street apartment house to Anita Raybum, who had arrived after a 17-hour drive
from Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, to continue her college education. One look at Hannes, with his round black
glasses and piercing blue eyes, and Anita was over the moon.
A gentleman from the moment he met her, offering to help her bring her belongings in, Hannes eventually
worked up the courage to ask Anita out for a drink, and the rest, as they say, is history. Less than a year later he
planned the most romantic marriage proposal imaginable in Paris with the help of his dearest lifelong friend,
cV
Lothar. On a little island in the middle of the Seine with the towers of Notre Dame Cathedral in the background,
Anita replied to the proposal with an emphatic YES! Just this past December, to celebrate their 30th wedding
anniversary, Hannes thoughtfully recreated that special moment by transforming the Klein home into a Parisian
city scene replete with an eight-foot, illuminated Eiffel Tower. They were just as much in love in their kitchen
thirty years later as they were in France on that summer day, maybe even more so.
As a married couple, Hannes and Anita lived in Boston and later New Hampshire for almost 13 years,
welcoming oldest daughter Hannah in 2000 and her younger sister, Ava, in 2006 after the family had relocated
to Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Whether in New England or in North Carolina, Hannes enjoyed every aspect
of his very successful 30+-year career in the world of engineering, and as he transitioned into management for
Amphenol TCS, he served as b beloved and inspiring role model and colleague who is remembered for his
positive, kind, and helpful demeanor, in addition to his dry sense of humor and famous April Fools' Day emails.
Hannes greatly valued the relationships he forged throughout his work life with so many wonderful individuals,
and his family wishes to thank his colleagues for the wonderful memories of him that they have shared.
Modest to a fault, Hannes would never proclaim his professional accomplishments, but he would puff with
pride about what he treasured most: being a husband to Anita and a father to Hannah and Ava. There quite
simply was nothing more important to him than his family, and their love sustained him through life's most
challenging circumstances.
Hannes is survived by his wife, Anita Raybum Klein; daughters, Hannah Rose Klein and Ava Grace Klein;
sister, Sabine Klein; brother, Markus Klein,his wife, Manuela,and their son, Paul; and numerous cousins in
Germany.
A visitation for family and friends will be held from 2:00 to 4:00 PM Saturday, January 20, 2024, at Hayworth-
Miller Kinderton Chapel. In lieu of flowers, or for those who wish to make a donation in memory of Johannes,
please consider Westchester Country Day School in High Point, North Carolina, YMCA Camp Cheerio in Glade
Valley, North Carolina, or Kate B. Reynolds Hospice House in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The Kleins
wish to thank all of these organizations for the happy memories and support they have provided to the family.

family's needs were ta^en care of by canning the vegetables grown from the family garden, mending clothes
and sewing quilts.
She would show her love and find great joy in the big Sunday meals she prepared. Christmas and Easter were
especially special to her, and the excitement of the family would be of the desserts that she baked. She had an
enormous heart, and it didn't take long to go from an acquaintance to a member of the family.
She was the family's pillar of strength, hope, and love. She was always waiting with a warm hug and shoulder
to cry on when needed. She was an amazing, beautiful, loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-
grandmother. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends.

McMahan, Myers McMahan and Joyce (Larry) Hanes.
