Karl Theodore Kelnhofer

In loving memory of our father, Karl Kelnhofer, who passed away surrounded by loved ones on 22 July 2024, he was 86. He is survived by and was the devoted husband of Karen (Arndt) Kelnhofer, loving father of Steven Kelnhofer and Lauri Kelnhofer, grandfather of seven, and great-grandfather of 15. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Karl, born to Theodore & Rose Kelnhofer in Antigo, WI, immediately brought joy and laughter into the world. One of the kindest souls on this planet, our father was a gentle, giving man who worked tirelessly to ensure that his family had everything they needed. He faced every challenge in life with admirable strength and courage and was a role model to many.

Early in life, our father learned the importance of hard work and he instilled that same work ethic in us. He was always there for us, whether we needed help with our homework or just a shoulder to cry on. He was a man of strong faith, and he taught us the importance of family, hard work, and doing what is right.

Our father was a remarkable man who we will always look up to. 

Dad, you are now at peace, but you will live on forever in our hearts. We love you so much. Rest in peace.
