Krag enjoyed the adrenaline of watching all car racing especially when with his nephews in Washington. He also loved any and all projects from rebuilding antique cars with his dad to construction projects, whether at his home with his father-in-law or with friends at their homes or businesses. Krag enjoyed wildlife such as hunting ducks in the Mississippi Delta with his nephews & brother-in-law, to elk in Washington, to a wild game Safari trip in East Africa with his father.

I worked with Krag in Capgemini in the United States back in 2006 - 2008. I stumbled across Krag's obituary just recently, and was saddened to hear he had passed away. I really enjoyed working with him - and he shared with us the experiences in the airline industry (which is where he went back to). Belatedly, my condolences go out to his family. He was a great guy and I know he will still be missed!

Deepest sympathies to Ginny and Krags family.
Krag was a good and positive guy. He and i spoke mid December and planned to catch up in early Jan. I sent Krag a 'have a great New Year and lets hope 2015 is a good year' message, I was terribly shocked to get a message from Ginny saying he had passed away. Sad time. My thoughts are with all the family and Ginny, I hope the pain eases as time passes.

I am saddened to hear of Krag's untimely passing and my deepest sympathies to the entire family. I knew Krag through the aviation industry and worked with him many, many years ago when he was a seat engineer at Boeing. We always kept in touch and would take time to connect with each other at industry conferences, etc. I will miss his energy, positive attitude and generosity dearly. The aviation industry lost a wonderful member with his passing.

I just learned of the untimely death of a good friend of mine. I knew Krag while he was at Recaro and really got to know him while he was at FLP. I have some fantastic memories of Krag and the times we spent together. What a great, funny, dedicated and smart guy. The world was a better place with him here and he will be sorely missed. Prayers and my sincere condolences to Ginny and the families.

It was with shock and sadness that I have just learned of Krag's untimely passing from a mutual friend. Krag lived life to its fullest, and it was always a pleasure for me to be in his company. He maintained a positive outlook on nearly all situations, was lively, always had a smile on his face, and "the wheels were always turning." I looked forward to seeing Krag at industry events, and at the last one we enjoyed a steak together at the Metropolitan Grille in Seattle. He was an asset to the industry, and I am proud to say I knew him. I'll miss Krag, and extend my deepest sympathy to his family.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Krag was truly an amazing guy who was always full of fun and laughs. One of the best salesmen I have ever met. The aviation world has lost a great son. I am so glad I had the opportunity to have met Krag.

I met Krag when he moved next door to me in Highland Village TX. He was a single guy with no family but he quickly became part of ours. He did not know a stranger & had a zest for life. He was always willing to lend a hand or share a laugh. My boys and I will miss him dearly. He was a very special person to me & touched my heart in so many ways! My heart breaks but I'm very blessed to call him my friend! You will be missed!!

I met Krag while he was attending central and I was attending wsu through a mutual friend of ours. We immediately became good friends but lost touch for a few years only to run into each other at a gas station in mill creek wa. From then on we were inseperable friends destined to embark on many adventures together from Acapulco to Texas to Washington working on my house to lake Tahoe for new years . Krag was a dedicated, smart and humorous guy who would help you before you had to ask. He was very caring with a huge heart beneath his sometimes coarse exterior. He was fun loving and a bit wild which always left an impression On those around him. I have spent many hours working and having great times with Krag, and even though we have lost touch in these past years, he was an extraordinary person with soo many more amazing feats to conquer. It brings me the greatest sadness to hear this news and to know he has gone to the next place. My sincerest condolances to Ginni and all families. I hope you find peace in knowing he lived life to the fullest and we will all be together again someday. I am so sorry and i am writing this in disbelief. I just cannot believe my friend is gone. He will be missed
