Anthony Wayne Krieger, 62, fondly known as Tony, departed this life on December 14, 2025, at his residence following a brief illness. Born on March 25, 1963, in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, Tony was a family man and a respected figure in the corrugated manufacturing industry, where he worked before becoming disabled.
Tony was a graduate of Galien High School in Galien, Michigan, and his commitment to hard work was evident in everything he did. He was not only a devoted provider for his family but also a steadfast supporter of his children's bold ambitions, always encouraging them to reach for their dreams.
In addition to his professional life, Tony had an array of interests and hobbies that defined his character. He loved to hunt and fish, spending countless hours outdoors, where he found solace and joy. His hands were always busy, as he enjoyed fixing things and taking on projects around the home. Turning to leisure, he was an avid football fan, taking delight in watching games that brought excitement into his life.
Tony had an unwavering bond with his beloved dog, Tickle, who was his constant companion; he wouldn’t go anywhere without Tickle by his side. This relationship showcased the gentle and caring nature that Tony had for all living beings.
He leaves behind a loving family that includes his father, Orie Krieger; his eldest daughter, Amanda Jamerson, along with her husband, Jason, and their two sons, Jonah and Jalen; his son, Steven Krieger, and his wife, Brittany, who are blessed with two children, Kaiden and Khloe; and his youngest daughter, Sara Barrow, accompanied by her husband, Isaac.
Tony was predeceased by his mother, Sharon Thompson Krieger; a sister, Sheryl; and a brother, Timothy. Their memory remains cherished by the family and friends who were touched by Tony’s life and love.
