Larry C. Krieger

Larry C. Krieger, age 82, of Grand Junction, passed away at home on December 3, 2022, with his family by his side. Larry was the son of Ralph and Alice Krieger, born on December 8, 1939, in Buchannan Township, Michigan. He grew up in the Buchannan area until 1952 with his family until they moved to Bangor, where he graduated high school in 1958. After school, Larry worked as a machinist at a small manufacturing company before going to work for Clark Equipment in 1964 and retiring in 1995. Larry proudly served his nation as a member of the Michigan National Guard at the South Haven Armory. When he wasn’t working, he enjoyed being outside fishing, camping, walking, and riding his motorcycle. Taking his grandkids and dog on his quad gave him some of his greatest pleasures, but it was going out spending time in the woods hunting which he enjoyed the most. Larry and his wife, Barbara (whom he married on April 2, 1960, and who survives him), enjoyed going camping with family, especially going up to “the Pines.” He would bring his lawnmower and cut the grass so when family arrived, they could set up in their family circle. Also surviving him are his children, Cathy (David) Williams of Hiddenite, North Carolina, Lori Karriker of Grand Junction; grandkids, Carl Krieger, Jacqueline Krieger, Jessie Stansel, Nathan Stansel, Tina Grubbs, Crystal (Bryan) Kenny, Matthew Williams, Dylan Trimnal, Kimberly Garrison, Debra (Stacy) Geary, Danielle Kish; 21 great-grandkids, 5 great-great grandkids; his sisters, Clara Duis, Mary Adams, Margie Krieger; a brother, Orie (Sharron) Krieger; sisters-in-law, Betty Krieger and Shirley Krieger; along with many nieces, nephews and friends. He was preceded in death by his son, Dean Krieger; granddaughter, Jessica Privette; sister, Leona Duis; brothers, Raymond and Robert Krieger; and three brothers-in-law, Robert Duis, Fred Duis and Don Struble. The family will meet friends on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, from 11 AM until time of service at 12 PM, Pastor Wynne Hurlbut officiating, at the Bangor Chapel of the D.L. Miller Funeral Home, www.dlmillerfuneralhome.com. Interment will take place at Monks Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials be made to either Autism Speaks (www.autismspeaks.org) or the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org).
