Edward A. Krueger

Edward Al Krueger, 73, was welcomed into heaven by his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday, December 8, 2010 after a twelve and a half year battle with cancer. Ed was the loving husband of Bonnie Morris Krueger and the dedicated father of three daughters, Debra, Rhonda and Kara. He was greeted in heaven by his daughter, Rhonda Lynn Krueger Garrison, who went to be with our Lord in July 2000 and by his parents, Edwin and Edna Krueger.

Ed was born in Brenham, Texas on August 7, 1937. He graduated from Brenham High School in 1955 where he was president of the senior class. He then attended Texas A&M where he graduated with a B.S. in Industrial Engineering in 1959. Ed served six months of active duty in the U.S. Army at Fort Sill, Oklahoma and eight years in the Army Reserve achieving the rank of Captain. Ed was employed by Southwestern Bell Telephone Co.

Ed was a loyal Aggie and an avid fan of college football, basketball and baseball. He was a member of Castle Hills First Baptist Church in San Antonio where he served as Deacon Chairman in 2005. Ed loved God and he was dedicated to studying and teaching the Bible. His passion was the study of Bible prophecy and the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Ed’s faith in God gave him the strength and courage to face many trials and difficulties during his long battle with cancer. Ed candidly shared his physical struggles as well as his faith in God’s ability to sustain him through it all. His faithfulness was a powerful testimony that inspired and encouraged everyone who came in contact with him.
