It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Larry Anton Krepel, a beloved husband, brother, father, grandfather and friend.
Larry was born March 1, 1946, in Lincoln, and departed from us Sept. 9, 2025. Known for his humility, kind spirit and love for his family, Larry's legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of all those who knew him.
Larry graduated from Lincoln High School in 1965. He served his country by enlisting in the U.S. Navy. Larry continued his education at Butler County Community College for two years and Medical Lab School in Wichita, Kansas, for one year. He was a Lab Technician at the hospital in Wichita and then later on in Crete at the wastewater treatment plant.
Larry is survived by his devoted wife, Susan Krepel; daughters, Karrie Biggs, Kathy Hunter and Katy Meredith; one grandchild; two step-grandchildren; sisters, Connie Herman, Priscilla Krepel, Theresa (Steve) Baldwin and Sarah Senders; brothers, Thomas (Carol) Krepel and Richard (Susie) Krepel. Each family member carries with them countless memories and shared moments of joy, laughter and love with Larry.
In death, Larry is reunited with his parents, Anton and Phyllis (Head) Krepel; and his step-daughter, Jen Barber.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
Arrangements by Kuncl Funeral Home in Crete.
