Gordon Leroy Krebs

It is with a mix of sadness and celebration that we announce the passing of Gordon L. Krebs, who left this world on December 18, 2024, at the age of 87. Gordon was born on March 6, 1937, in Berlin, Wisconsin, and spent much of his life in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where he made countless memories and cherished friendships.

Gordon, known for his big heart and even bigger personality, was a man of simple pleasures. He loved spending time with his daughter, Loene Krebs, and filled his days with gardening, cooking, and the joy of scratch-off tickets. Gordon was no stranger to good times; whether it was gathering with friends for a beer, engaging in spirited card games, or finding new ways to drive his wife crazy, he embraced life with humor and zest.

As a skilled carpenter at Morgan Doors, Gordon poured his creativity and craftsmanship into every project, leaving behind a legacy of quality work and dedication. But it was his playful spirit and genuine love for his animals that truly defined him.

Gordon is survived by his daughter, Loene Krebs; sister-in-law, Edna Gipp as well as many nieces', nephews, cousins, and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Leroy and Lois Krebs; wife, Lousene; sister, Elaine (Arthur) Tetzke; and many other in-laws.

Family and friends are invited to join us in celebrating Gordon's life. Memorial services will be held at Konrad-Behlman Funeral Homes-Eastside (402 Waugoo Ave) on Saturday February 15, 2025 at 11AM. A time of visitation will be held from 9AM until the time of service. Let's gather together to share our favorite stories, raise a toast to his memory, and remember the laughter and love he brought to our lives.

The family would like to thank the staff at Moments Hospice and Bethel Home and all of Gordons friends from Wyldewood Baptist church for the care they gave to him and the time they spent with him.

Indeed, Gordon Leroy Krebs will be missed, but his spirit will continue to live on in all who knew him. Rest in peace, dear Gordon.
