Victor A Klein

On the morning of October 5, 2023, Victor A Klein III, age 73 of North Coventry Township (Chester County PA), died in the company of his loving husband Ron Mickey and his two canine loves, Piper & Coal. 

Victor was born on October 28, 1949, to Victor A Klein Jr. and Mary (Knapp) Klein in Darby, PA. Victor grew up in Drexel Hill, PA., with his five siblings.  After Victor graduated from Monsignor Bonner H.S. in 1967, he went on to study Cosmetology, including time studying abroad in London.

After completing his studies, Victor spent over a 50 year career as a successful stylist. He truly loved the work he did and the relationships he built with his many clients. He spent the past 34 years working at Chameleon Salon in Media, PA.

In 1991, Victor met his partner Ron. Over their 33 years together, Victor and Ron built a life filled with love, laughter, fabulous travel around the world and the incomparable joy of being owned by various Scottish Terriers and one Cock-a-poo. Victor and Ron married in September of 2015.

Victor loved hiking with the dogs and, until recently, he would take them on multiple adventures in one day. He also had a very special skill in being able to supervise his husband Ron’s planting of the garden!  Victor was predeceased by his Mother & Father, his sisters Victoria and Elizabeth, and his former partner Donald Triglia. He is survived by loving family: his husband Ron Mickey, sisters Theresa (Klein) Werner and Margaret (Klein) Biello, brother William Klein & family, niece Michelle (Werner) Banik & family, nephew Mark Werner & family, nephew Francis Werner & family, niece Dominique Rivera & family and a Chameleon Salon family who he dearly loved.

Victor left an indelible mark on the life of every person he touched with laughter (his was the most irreverent, wicked and fabulous sense of humor, bar none), joy, and love.  Victor was the epitome of Living Life to its Fullest, every single day.  The best way any of his loved ones can celebrate him daily is to share a Victor story, and to Live, Love, and Laugh – as he did. 

A Celebration of Life service will take place in the near future (date, time, location TBD). In lieu of flowers, Ron requests donations be made in Victor’s memory to one of the following organizations he felt strongly about:
