Krueger, Todd R. (30 OCT 1957 - 23 JUL 2018)

Todd R. Krueger, 60, of Minneapolis, Minn., unexpectedly passed away on July 23, 2018. Immediate family is choosing to hold an intimate, private memorial service. No public service will be held.

Todd was born on Oct. 30, 1957 in Medford to the late Richard and Dorothy Krueger. Todd was a 1975 graduate of Medford Senior High School. After graduation, Todd worked for Weather Shield as a service technician in Colorado and in California. He also lived for a time in Superior before ultimately landing in the Minneapolis area. He attended the University of Minnesota and Hennepin Technical College, where he taught night classes in electronics. Most recently, he had worked for Burlington Northern Railroad and then for Minnesota OSHA as an electronics technician. Todd married, Barbara Autio in 1994 and they later divorced.

Todd had many interests, but most notably was an eclectic musician. He spoke most enthusiastically about playing his bass guitar in clubs stretching from Milwaukee to Minneapolis and had some pretty exciting stories to share.

Todd is survived by his beloved son, Wyatt of Coon Rapids, Minn.; one sister, Marney (John Peterson) Richling of Westboro; niece, Kate Richling of West Bend; and nephew, Brandon Richling of Wausau; along with many friends and extended family.

Although he is gone from our sight, he will always remain in our hearts.
