James Kreh Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Beloved brother, uncle, and friend, lovingly known to his family as "Jimmy" returned to the loving embrace of Jesus on Sunday, November 2, 2025 at Community Village at the age of 74. The son of the late Kenneth and Valeria (Antoniewski) Kreh was born on December 22, 1950, in Saginaw, Michigan. Jimmy was a 1968 graduate of St. Peter and Paul. After high school, he put his mechanical skills to good work and was a tool and die machinist for many years. When Jimmy was not at work he was an active member at Shiell of Faith and enjoyed praying and reading the bible. He also enjoyed going to brunch with his brothers where one of his favorite meals were blueberry pancakes.
Surviving to cherish his memory are his brothers, Bill (Bonnie) and Gary Kreh, many nieces, nephews and friends. Jimmy was reunited with his parents, Kenneth and Valeria; and brothers Gregory and Kenneth Kreh.
In accordance with the wishes of Jimmy and his family, cremation has taken place and a private interment will take place at St. Andrew Cemetery. Those wishing to make a charitable donation in honor of Jim's life may consider memorials to the American Diabetes Association.
