Born July 26, 1956 to John Robert Kluzek and Harriet Arlene Kluzek, he was the oldest of five sons.

He joined the Army fresh out of high school and served in Aberdeen, Maryland and was honorably discharged in 1977. He attended Weber State College in Ogden and earned his Bachelor's Cum Laude in Chemistry in 1981. He worked for Easton Aluminum before being hired at Varian Medical System in 1989 where he was a dedicated worker and worked for 25 years (until the time of his passing). He was a great lover of the outdoors. Hunting, fishing and camping were some of his favorite activities. He built model tanks and aircraft with great detail and attended every air show he could. He took many photographs and shared his hobby with his young nieces. He enjoyed archery and went bow hunting.

In January of 1997 he went on a mission trip with World Concern to Africa, a trip that he treasured for the rest of his life.
