Penn View Teacher Dies Unexpectedly On Camping Trip

Souderton, Pa. — David Klahre, 29, a fourth grade teacher at Penn View Christian School, died Aug. 23 of an apparent heart attack while on a camping trip in Quebec, Canada. An official report on the cause of death is pending.

Klahre, a 1979 graduate of Goshen (Ind.) College, had taught at Penn View almost continually since 1979. His extracurricular activities included PFT Committee and in-service projects such as "Teaching Peace to Children."

He is survived by his parents, a brother and a sister. A memorial service was held Aug. 30 at Blooming Glen Mennonite Church. Funeral services were held Aug. 27 at Church of the Brethren, Everett. Klahre was a member of Perkasie Mennonite Church.

A memorial fund is being established to purchase computer hardware and video equipment for Penn View School.
