Craig Anthony Kragenbrink was born June 15, 1957, in Oconomowoc, the son of Roy and Pearl (nee Weide)Kragenbrink. After graduating from Watertown High School in 1975, Craig began his journey as an apprentice tool and die maker, embracing a path that highlighted his precision and commitment to his trade.
Craig devoted over 40 years to his career at LaBelle Industries, which later became Quest Technologies and is now part of 3M. Craig married the former Deborah "Debbie" Ferderer on September 5, 1992, at St. Mark's Lutheran Church.
With a love for the open road and classic cars, Craig was the proud owner of a 1986 Harley and an active member of both H.O.G. and the Badgerland F100 Truck Club. He enjoyed showcasing his two Galaxies at car shows. In his younger days, he embraced the outdoors, spending time golfing and camping.
Craig is survived by his wife Debbie; stepchildren, Kari (Troy) Hrobsky and Justin (Loretta Behl) Fredrick; grandchildren, Nataea and Sequoyah Hrobsky; parents, Roy (Carol) Kragenbrink and Pearl Bassett; sisters, Debra Kragenbrink and Tracy (Marvin) Mutter; as well as nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Craig is preceded in death by his stepfather, Jon Bassett.
