Danise E. Krueger

featured image

Danise Ellen Krueger (Stockbarger), Lincoln, NE, aged 75, she was surrounded by her children as she left this world on March 17, 2024.

Danise was born November 12, 1948 in Oak Park, IL. She called many places her home throughout life, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Kansas and Nebraska. She attended University of Illinois (Go Illini!) and received her master’s in nursing from the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Danise was a mother, a grandma/mimi, a daughter, a sister, an aunt and a friend. She was an amazing mental health nurse for many, many years. She touched the lives of countless patients, showing kindness and compassion. Danise loved to laugh and she loved her people fiercely. She experienced joy through the small things- a cold Coca-Cola, Kansas City BBQ, a new book from Barnes and Noble, a shopping trip to Nordstrom, being by a lake and enjoying a steak dinner.

But what brought her the most joy were her 3 kids and 12 grandkids. To her they were the best, and she loved them with every ounce of her being.

Danise is survived by her 3 children, Kris Krueger (Allison), Katie Cannon (John) and Kelly Watson (Todd); 12 grandchildren, Dylan, Beckett and Rowan Krueger, Danny, Jimmy, Molly and Tommy Cannon, Brady, David, Katie, Avery and Evey Watson; and sister, Sally DeLiberato (Nick).

Danise was preceded in death by her parents, Dan and Pearl Stockbarger.

The family will be sharing in a private celebration of life together at a later date.

Tyler found his professional calling as the assistant manager at T.O. Haas Tire and Auto, where his work ethic and warm-hearted nature were appreciated by both colleagues and customers alike. His personal interests were as varied as they were passionate, ranging from avid attendance at Eagle Raceway events to the artistic capture of moments through photography while traveling country roads, a love of his Yukon and collecting of pocket knives and hat’s to sharing his love for cars with friends and family via Snapchat.

Tyler knew no boundaries when it came to his heart and children in his life. He leaves behind a legacy of laughter and love in his children: Tristyn Klein, Elijah Klein Mosley (mother, diabetic bestie, coparenting partner Jerrica Mosley), Tegyn Klein (mother, embarrassing picture muse, coparenting partner Jessica Storm), and Leyton Gustafson.

His brother Trevor Klein, sister-in-law Chelsea Klein, brother Craig Carlson, his devoted mother Tammy Carlson, father who raised him Jason Carlson, niece Cadence Klein, nephew Paxton Klein, along with numerous cherished aunts, uncles, and cousins. Preceding him in his journey to eternal rest was his adored Grandmother, Nancy King and his Grandfather Terry Klein.

A Celebration of Life to honor Tyler will be held from 2-6 PM on March 23, 2024, at the community center in Waverly, located at 11120 N 141st St, Waverly, NE 68462. This gathering will be a time to share the joy and kindness he spread throughout his life.
