Karl Hahn Obituary
Karl graduated from Parkway West High School in Chesterfield, MO, (class of '83) and spent much of his life in his hometown, where he enjoyed bowling and was an avid sports fan mainly watching his boys and St. Louis teams. His love for these things was only surpassed by the joy he found in spending time with his beloved wife, Kelly McNeal Hahn, and his sons, Dominic, Dalton, and Daniel.
He is survived by his wife, sons, his mother Karla Olga Hagman Hahn, his brothers Kuhrt Hahn (Michelle) and Kristopher Hahn (Alicia), and his sisters Kerry Florea (James) and Kelle Hahn. Karl will also be fondly remembered by his nieces and nephews Arin Walker, Braden Hahn, Hannah Hahn Licause, Sarah Hahn, Sam Hahn, Jackson Florea, Parker Florea, and Taylor Florea and the devoted mother of his sons, Tina Kimbell. He was preceded in death by his father, Joseph Edward Hahn.
A Celebration of Life will be held SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2024 at 1:00 pm BONHOMME PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, 14820 Conway Rd, Chesterfield, MO.
A continued celebration gathering for friends and family will follow at 4:00pm at Liliana's COTTLEVILLE, 3891 Mid Rivers Mall Dr, Cottleville, MO.

Aug. 6, 2007: Our impromptu wedding on Perdido Key in Orange Beach, AL.
The day was beautiful and memorable with few friends and family, but had the blessings of many. It was a quasi-casual, ocean-side wedding, me in crocheted cotton and Karl in linen, we set off for the setting sun. My eyes were constantly brimming with joy-filled tears and Karl kept the focus at hand with his sweet, crooked smile and an occasional wink. He held my hands and never stopped staring, reassuring me. The nuptials, performed by a former ship´s captain, slowly but steadily turned into an off-center, often quirky (or even a little odd) ceremony complete with a lot of laughter and love. Best. Day.

We remember Karl´s high energy and outgoing personality-ever ready to participate in family get togethers. I somehow want to say Karl´s energy level was kinetic-just itching for things to do. Much love to all the Hahns. Aunt Kristi and Uncle Tom

Kart, Eric and I were cousins of the same age. I remember him playing the daredevil and clown at the same time, jumping from the lifeguard´s ladder on michigan beach. Great spirit, wild spirit. Sorry I didn´t get to see him these last decades. Much love to the Hahns. So sorry.

My deepest condolences to Karls family. The memories from college, Rumors, Crackle and general silliness will always make me smile. We will miss you Karl and love you very much!

We had so many great memories. Slinging cocktails at Rumors in Cape Girardeau and Big Kahuna in STL. We enjoyed going to concerts with the crew. My of my favorite memories is of the drive home from Scream Stream an annual float trip. Those that were there remember that story. I will miss you Captain. Sail on.

I don't remember our first meeting, but I have many vivid memories of travels with Karl. We me at 1983 at SEMO. One of my fondest memories is of a trip to our annual float trip when his shoes stunk so bad we had to hang them outside the van. They just banged on the door as we drove home, taunting us with terror. He also slept 16 straight hours on a drive home from skiing one year...16 hours. He was a good friend and I'll miss him terribly.

He always called me Hannah Banana and gave me the biggest and silliest hugs. He was constantly joking around and making us laugh. His smile and soul were always so warm, we knew he cared about us all deeply. Love you always.

I´ll always remember pickup football in the front of the house, in the street, everywhere. Such a kind and loving soul

Karl always asked about the kids when we were around him and he was such a kind soul to me and to others around him.
