Chandler Austin Krueger

Chandler Austin Taylor Krueger September 24, 1999 – July 27, 2025 With profound sorrow and love, we announce the passing of Chandler Krueger, who left this world far too soon on July 27, 2025, at the age of 25. Born on September 24, 1999, Chandler lived life full-throttle - always chasing the next adventure, fixing the next machine, and loving with his whole heart. Whether he was tearing down an RC car to rebuild it better than before, tuning up a motorcycle, or getting elbow-deep under the hood of a truck, Chandler was happiest with tools in hand and grease on his jeans. He had a mind for mechanics and a heart for adrenaline - racing anything with wheels, seeking thrills at amusement parks, and finding joy in speed and motion. But beyond the engines and excitement, Chandler's greatest joy was the people he loved. He treasured time with his family, friends, and especially his son Zayden. Weekends were for grilling, fishing, or riding four-wheelers or motorcycles - not for show, but for the connection, laughter, and memories made. He was the kind of person who showed up - with a smile, a solution, or a strong pair of hands when you needed help the most. Chandler is preceded in death by his father, Kurt Krueger, his beloved sister, Hailey Krueger, and his grandfather David Uhl. We find peace knowing he's reunited with them, likely wrench in hand and mischief in his eyes. He is survived by those who will carry his spirit forward: his devoted mother, Charlene Uhl, his grandfather Marvin Krueger, his loving sister Camey Uhl, his strong brother Landon Krueger, and his pride and joy - his son, Zayden Phillips, who carries Chandler's spark, smile, and fearless heart. And the numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and chosen family. To know Chandler was to love him - not just for his talents or his thrill-seeking ways, but for his kindness, loyalty, and the way he made you feel like you mattered. His legacy is written in engines rebuilt, trails ridden, problems solved, and lives touched. A celebration of life will be held to honor Chandler's memory. Details will be shared with family and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes contributions to a fund for Zayden's future - so Chandler's greatest love will always be supported and surrounded by the care he would have given. Ride free, Chandler. We'll see you down the road.
