King Hoermann

1941 - 2025

King Hoermann April 10, 1941 - December 18, 2025 King Colville Hoermann, 84, passed away on December 18, 2025.

King was born on April 10, 1941, in Seguin, Texas, to Alvin and Reatha Hoermann. A proud Matador from the Seguin High School Class of 1959, King went on to graduate from the University of Texas where he was president of the Delta Upsilon fraternity. He was a lifelong Longhorn, cheering especially loudly against Oklahoma and Texas A&M.

King loved traveling, hunting and fishing, entertaining guests on the grill, and sharing good music and great stories - if you knew him, you never left hungry! In Breckenridge, Texas, he worked for Texaco, Environmental Consultants (with good friend Mike Thornton), and helped launch the environmental program at Texas State Technical College. He was deeply committed to his community, serving as a vestry member for St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, president of the Rotary Club, on the Boards of the Library and Fine Arts Center and the Economic Development Corporation, and was proud to be recognized as the Chamber of Commerce's Citizen of the Year. And who could forget his participation as Nurse Ratched or one of the Blues Brothers at fundraisers and community events!

He is survived by his wife, Karen Hoermann, with whom he spent 60 wonderful years of love and laughter; his children, Lindy Sprong (husband Mike Sprong) and Will Hoermann (wife Kate Hoermann); and his grandchildren, Ben Sprong, Maggie Hoermann, Jordan Sprong, and Amelie Hoermann.

King will be remembered with love by all who knew his warmth, humor, and generous spirit. The family will have a private celebration of life at one of his favorite hill country spots when the wildflowers are in bloom.
