It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Roger Krantz, a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, who left this world peacefully on December 20, 2025, at the age of 71. Born on April 12, 1954, Roger lived a life full of adventure, service, and unwavering love for those around him.
Roger was a proud veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, serving honorably during the Vietnam War. These experiences shaped his character, instilling a deep sense of duty and respect that he carried throughout his life. After his service, he dedicated himself to a rewarding career in the oil field, where he earned the respect of many for his hard work and determination.
Above all, Roger was a devoted family man. He is survived by his beloved wife, Patricia, his cherished daughter, Kristy, his son, Robert Ray, his dear brother, Rickey, and numerous nieces and nephews. The bond they shared was evident to all who knew them, filled with laughter, support, and countless cherished memories. He had an incredible ability to make those around him feel valued and loved, whether at home or among friends.
Roger was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Lavern Krantz, and Wanda Sue Krantz and brothers, Ronnie Krantz and Robert Krantz.
Roger Krantz will be greatly missed, but his spirit will always remain a guiding light for those fortunate enough to have known him. Rest in peace, dear Roger.
