Michael G. Krultz, 75, of Medford, passed away at home on
Friday, April 17, 2020.
Michael was born on August 15, 1944 to Mike Jr. and Rose
(Malnar) Krultz in Willard, WI. He graduated from Neillsville High School. He
earned his Bachelors of Business Administration and Masters in Education at UW –
Eau Claire. He married Diane R. Berger on November 8, 1969; she survives.
Michael loved life and made the most of each day. He loved
to talk and make others laugh. His family was his world and he had a special
place in his heart for his grandchildren. Michael loved the outdoors, and rain
and shine you could find him hunting, fishing, or camping. He was an avid water
skier and lifelong golfer and taught his children and grandchildren to enjoy
those same passions.
Michael also loved music and especially loved to play “Happy
Birthday” on his trumpet to others. He had a passion for teaching as well. He
was a beloved teacher at Medford Area Senior High for most of his career until
his retirement in 2003.
He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
Michael was a member of Holy Rosary Catholic Church and the
Knights of Columbus.
Michael is survived by his wife, Diane, children, Jason
(Amy) Krultz of Warrens, Jenne (Cassidy) Miles of Holmen, Kristi (Daniel) Emmerich of
Wausau, and Kevin Krultz of Medford, grandchildren, Alison and Riley Krultz,
Mason, Madison, and Ava Miles, sister, Darlene (Donald) Zukowski of
Owen. Michael is further survived by many other family and friends.
In addition to his parents, Michael is preceded in death by
his brother Robert Krultz.
A private family service will be held and a Celebration of
Life will be held at a later date. Jason
Krultz, Kevin Krultz, Cassidy Miles, Daniel Emmerich, Riley Krultz, and Mason
Miles will serve as pallbearers.
