Karl Frederick Eugene Kuehner
JUNE 11, 1938 – AUGUST 9, 2020

Karl Frederick Eugene Kuehner went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, due to Pulmonary Fibrosis, on August 9th of 2020. Karl was born on June 11th of 1938, in Aurora, Illinois to: Emil E. and Gertrude H. Kuehner.

He grew up in Elgin, Illinois later attending Iowa State University. He earned his B. S. in Dairy Husbandry and was commissioned as 2nd Lieutenant in Field Artillery in 1961.

Karl married Suzanne Cobb on July 13th, 1963, in Elgin, Illinois; working on their family dairy until 1965 when they moved to Fort Collins, Colorado.

In 1966 they moved to Loveland, Colorado where they had their first daughter. Then, in 1968 they moved to Brighton, Colorado where their other children were born.

He happily serviced the agricultural community in the area for 35 years while working for Adams County Co-op; where he made many dear friends. He served in the United States Army Reserves (Air Defense Artillery/ Field Artillery) finishing his career as a Major.

Karl, above all else, loved Jesus as his Lord and Savior and up to his last breath, was sharing about Jesus and praying for the people he came in contact with. He was interested in people and wanted to find their hearts and minister to them personally; because he wanted them to know the love of Jesus Christ. His actions, his speech, and his very demeanor was purposeful to that end. He led by example while serving in every facet of church leadership, lay preaching, Bible Study Fellowship, an AWANA leader, and a Sunday school teacher of adults and children. One of the most visible ways that he served was caring for his lovely bride after her major stroke. He loved Jesus!
