Scott Krueger Obituary

Scott Douglas Krueger passed away on November 2, 2022. He leaves behind his wife, Julie Dean Krueger, and three children, Colin, Grant and Andrew; parents, Jerry and Phyllis Krueger; sister, Julie Fritcher; aunt, Marian Lindley; cousins, Kim Varner, Kris Lindley and Jeanine Hinshaw and a large extended family.

Scott was a remarkable man who had an incredible gift for inspiring people to envision their full potential. He was comfortable with life's complexity, with living in the gray, and he took great pleasure in navigating its ambiguity and helping others do the same.

He loved his family with his whole being, giving each child the gift of unwavering love and encouragement to pursue their own unique passions. He loved his wife with a depth and fervor only soulmates understand. At his center, his guiding light was love: love for family and friends, love for God and community, love and hope for a better world.

A funeral service is being held on November 12 at 2:00 at Grace Lutheran Church, 7300 W. Division St., River Forest.

Scott used to come over to our house and spend so much time with my sister Leah. They loved doing many things together, but for some reason I see them sitting on my parents front porch eating pickles! He was a good friend to Leah, and I´m so glad they crossed paths. He will be missed. My deepest sympathy for the family.
