It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of John Kraetsch of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, born in Merrill, Wisconsin, who passed away on February 27, 2026, at the age of 62, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of John Kraetsch to show support.
As we bid John farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For John is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
