Obituary of Craig Alan Krueger

Krueger, Craig Alan passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on May 29, 2019. While Craig left us too soon, our lives will be forever filled with memories of his contagious smile, boisterous laughter, and a never-ending curiosity and passion for life. Craig enjoyed making memories at his cabin surrounded by loved ones while playing cribbage, listening to classic rock, and working in his yard. Craig was born in 1955 and is survived by his wife, Shelly, of 36 years along with three sons: Ben, Joel, and Eric. Eric and his wife Beth are expecting Craig's first grandchild; while Joel and his partner Lexi have just moved into their first house together. He is also survived by three siblings: Deb Knight and her husband Scott and daughter Julia, Doug Krueger, and Diane Krueger and her wife Elyse Bendel. Craig is preceded in death by his parents Alan and Pauline Krueger of Albert Lea, MN where Craig was born. Always the life of the party, Craig will be sorely missed as his family and friends commit to living on in Craig's honor.
