Richard Kruse Obituary

With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Richard Kruse in Des Moines, Iowa, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Richard left this world on November 25, 2024 at the age of 81, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Richard Kruse to show support.

Though Richard may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Richard touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Albert Kruse and Elsie Kruse; his wife Lana Southern; his son Kevin (Sarah); and his grandchildren, Grace and Kaleb.
