IN LOVING MEMORY

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Meran Kline, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, who left this world on March 21, 2025, at the age of 70, after a courageous battle with a heart condition. Meran was a lifelong resident of Wolfsville, Maryland, where he built a legacy of love, strength, and dedication that will forever resonate in the hearts of those who knew him.

Born October 18, 1954, in Frederick, Maryland, a 1972 graduate of Middletown High School, he was the son of the late Meredith Kline and proceeded in death by his beloved sister Brenda Williamson.

Meran is survived by his devoted wife of 52 years, Mary Kline, whose unwavering support and love were the foundation of their beautiful life together. He is also survived by his cherished mother, Patricia Kline of Myersville, Maryland and his two daughters, Prema Kline and her fiancé Harold Sheppard and sons Derek and Justin, and Misty Peck and her boyfriend Richard Smith and daughter Eliza. Meran took immense pride in his role as a grandfather to his granddaughters, Jessica Garnand and her boyfriend Chris West, Leeah Doyle and her husband Brandon, and Leesa Hawes and her boyfriend Jimmy Stoey. He was a doting great-grandfather to eight wonderful great-grandchildren: Haylee Reese, Jazlyn Reese, Kaliyah Stouffer, Hunter Taylor, Brantley, and Hartley West, Hazel Stoey and Holley Doyle. and his niece Christina, husband Ryan Conroy and family. Each of them held a special place in his heart, and he delighted in every moment spent with them.

Meran was a true superhero without a cape, embodying strength, kindness, and resilience. He was employed by Marvin's Sunoco, Myersville, Maryland while attending high school and then employed by Ketler Brothers, Montgomery Village, Maryland. He owned and operated Kline's Taxidermy for 52 years, where his artistry and passion for nature flourished. His dedication to his craft was matched only by his commitment to his community, as he served the State of Maryland at the Albert Powell Fish Hatchery for 15 years before transitioning to a role as a prison guard at the Maryland Correctional Institute for five years. Meran also contributed to the safety and security of his community through his work with Homeland Security.

An avid hunter, fisherman, and trapper, Meran found joy in the great outdoors, where he shared countless adventures. He was a member of South Mountain Rod and Gun Club, and his remarkable skills extended beyond his hobbies; he was a Master of Construction, capable of tackling any project with determination and expertise.

Rest in peace, Meran. Your love and strength will continue to guide us.
