He was preceded in death by his father, Shirl Louis Krupp.
Mike is survived by his wife, Joanie Krupp; his daughter, Meredith Krupp; his mother, Marie Krupp; his stepchildren, Hunter, Tyler and Courtenay Graham, Aaron Hilberg; and a myriad of friends and extended family.

I was just thinking of Mike several days ago. I learned of his passing through Mark King, Tampa, FL. We were all big buddies during the 1980's. We enjoyed hunting, fishing and sailing together. Mike was a great guy and always a pleasure to be with either buisness or pleasure. My prayers shall be with him and his family always

To the whole Krupp family I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss. I was a classmate of Mikes in junior and highschool. It's been years since we've talked but he'll always be a dear friend and he'll be missed by many.

Mike was my best friend during our 7th thru 10th grade years...even after going to different schools/colleges, we remained great friends. We had so many good times growing up together...I thought he was the coolest guy ever. I was shocked when my Mom called me here in Phoenix to tell me of his passing. Marie, Allan and family, I wish I could be there...my thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. I will truly miss him.
