Kenneth Alfred Kronschnabl's Obituary
Kenneth Alfred Kronschnabl, a devoted father, grandfather, Brother, Uncle, proud veteran, and cherished partner, passed away peacefully on June 12, 2025.
Kenneth served his country with pride and was honorably discharged from the military in 1963. While he served his country he married his wife Patricia, the mother of his children. His life was defined by quiet strength, deep loyalty, and a great love for family, true friends, traditions and the great outdoors.
He was the beloved father of five children—Kathy (Robert), Kenny (Stacy), Corinne (Joe), Carolyn, and Kevin (Michelle)—each of whom carries forward his legacy of great love, passions, resilience and warmth. He was also a loving grandfather to nine grandchildren, Angel, Robb (Gen), Benjamin, Danelle (Mike), Michael (Lindsey), Jason, Katlyn, Calista and Corbin. A great-grandfather to eleven grandchildren, Kailee, Robbie, Clayton, Garrett, Gabby, Sean, Gavin, Jack, Makai, Sloan and Kynli. All of whom brought him immense pride and joy. Kenneth was preceded in eternal life by his beloved daughter Katherine and parents, George and Mae.
Survived in life by Brother Robert, Sisters Diane, Mae Jean and Christine
For many years, Ken shared his life with his long-time partner, Pamala Janus. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, travel and shared interests. Ken had a deep appreciation for travel, boating, a lifelong devotion to the Green Bay Packers, and a fondness for all things German, a heritage he celebrated with pride. He will be remembered for his steady presence, his generous heart, and the joy he found in simple pleasures. His legacy lives on in the stories, traditions, and values he passed down through generations.
A Mass and burial will be held by the family at Saint Peter the Fisherman in Eagle River, WI (5001 Cty Rd G) on July 19 at 10:00 AM followed by a Celebration of Life at The Everett in Eagle River (1269 Everett Rd).
