Craig Kohls Obituary
Mishicot - Craig D. Kohls, age 41, of Mishicot, died peacefully on Christmas Day, Monday, December 25, 2017 at Aurora BayCare Medical Center in Green Bay, with his family at his side.
Craig was born in Two Rivers on February 26, 1976, son of Gary and Joan (Allie) Kohls. He attended Two Rivers Public Schools, graduating from Washington High School with the Class of 94. He then furthered his education at Lakeshore Technical College in Cleveland. Craig worked along side his father, Gary at Lakeshore Express for many years, and currently served as general manager of the business. Craig loved fishing and hunting with his Dad, family, or many friends - he especially enjoyed Duck Hunting. He also loved the time spent with his family Up North, relaxing & pontooning in summer, and looked forward to many more enjoyable years at their new cottage in High Falls. Craig was an avid arrow-head hunter; he enjoyed playing his guitar; and was very proud of his Black Belt in Combat Hapkido.
Craig married Tammy Drossart on June 26, 1999 in Two Rivers. The couple are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Manitowoc; and enjoyed many years of extensive travel together.
He is survived by his wife, Tammy; their daughter, Brynn; his parents, Gary and Joan Kohls of Mishicot; one sister & brother-in-law, Kim and Camryn Eis of Two Rivers; nieces & nephews: Jordyn and Casey Eis, Anna and Aaron Drossart. He is further survived by his father & mother-in-law: Eugene and Georgia Drossart of Chilton; brother-in-law, Adam (Kelly) Drossart of Salt Lake City, Utah; and aunts & uncles which include: Kathy (Robert) Shimon, Jean (Peter) Koch, Laurie (Randy) Green, Al (Debbie) Allie, and Art Allie, all of Two Rivers, Ronele Sousek of Mishicot; along with many cousins, other relatives, his two special companions: Porter (his hunting buddy), and Belle; and many, many great friends. Craig was preceded in death by his grandparents: Roland and Margaret Kohls & Donald and Bernice Allie.

Me and my wife Nadean were visiting my 1st cousin Gary and his wife Joan when we first met Craig and his family. What a wonderful memory to have. I soon learned he loved the outdoors and was interested in hunting. I had always hoped he would be able to travel north and have a hunting trip with me. That was not to be but I am sure he is enjoying the great outdoors where he is now.

I only met Craig one time, when he came with his dad to put a post in for my mail box. He was so kind & courteous. And he didn't even know me. I graduated with Gary & Joan. I put a note on Face book; & then got the call from Joan that they would do it. That was so nice, I was so thankful. And they refused any pay. So I did find a way to pay it forward. I Bought a "STAR" with his name; in the heavens. Its comes with a document with a message to the family. And a booklet letting them know how to find the star. God Bless you, & give you comfort; Kohls & Eis Families.
Love & prayers Penny Hollatz

One of the most down-to-earth guys on the planet, I enjoyed his friendship and brotherhood for only a few years, but we had some good times over a table filled with snack chips and poker chips as well as out back of his place teaching my children how to shoot guns safely. Love ya, man. See you in a bit.

Craig was a good friend of mine when we were kids. He is the 1st person that I knew of that liked skateboarding. We spent a lot of time skating around Two Rivers. We also made "home made" wake boards. We dragged those things from the south side of Two Rivers to the beach almost everyday one summer. He loved adventure!!!
I didn't get to hang out with Craig too much in our adult life. But when I did see him, it was like old times. He is truly a good dude!!!!
The picture was taken on the last day that I saw Craig (West Twin in TR). It was at the end of summer this year. I was on my bike and he was coming in off the lake on a boat. We got the chance to talk a lil bit that nite. I'm glad I got to see him!!!!
you'll be missed Craig!!!
