Gilbert Leimkuehler Obituary
Gilbert H. Leimkuehler, of Saint Charles, MO, passed away Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at the age of 93. Beloved husband of Janet Leimkuehler; cherished son of the late Emma and Johann Leimkuehler; devoted father of Cindy (Russell) Brooks, Curtis (Vicki) Leimkuehler, and Craig (Maureen) Leimkuehler; loving grandfather of Amanda (John) Roskeowske, Ashley (Jon) Klocke, Matthew (Alaina) Brooks, Megan (Benjamin) Schranck, Michael (Becky) Brooks, Nicholas (Alexandra) Leimkuehler, Benjamin (Anna) Leimkuehler, Mollie Leimkuehler, and Brody (Kate Doerhoff) Leimkuehler; treasured great grandfather of Collin, Lucas, Letty, Tessa, Mason, Darcy, Grant, Lily, and Parker; dear brother of Dorothy Hallemeier, the late Erma Hallemeier, and the late Kathleen Wilke.
Gilbert proudly and honorably served in the United States Army and was known for his strong work ethic and helpful nature. He enjoyed staying active through hobbies like playing horseshoes, bowling, mowing lawns, and working on Dodge vehicles. Gilbert was always willing to lend a hand and had a talent for fixing and building things, including crafting dollhouses for his granddaughters. He shared over 60 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Janet, and deeply cherished time spent with both his close group of friends and his family—especially watching his grandchildren’s sporting events. Gilbert was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Memorials may be made in Gilbert's name to the American Cancer Society or the American Macular Degeneration Foundation.
