Randy Kratz

June 9, 1959 — October 2, 2024

Randy David Kratz passed away unexpectedly October 2, 2024. Randy was born June 9, 1959 to Norman and Beverly Kratz (Everard).

Randy graduated from Oconto Falls High School in 1977. He proudly joined the Army from 1977-1982, where he was honorably discharged as a Sargent. After returning to Oconto Falls, he started a family where he had Michael and Christopher. On July 12, 2003 he married Julie Montie.

A passion of Randy’s was wrestling, and he dedicated decades of his time to the Oconto Falls Youth Wrestling program. He enjoyed being able to coach his sons and stepsons.

Randy was an avid hunter and fisherman. He would often brag the only opening season he missed was when he was deployed in Germany. He loved the Green Bay Packers as much as he enjoyed being outside.

Randy prided himself on being a hard worker. From driving truck, owning his own truck, owning a bar, and the last 20+ years at C&L Contracting LLC as a foreman. Many people can share memories of him at Julie and Randy’s The West.

Randy was looking forward to retirement where he was going to dedicate more time to gardening, canning, being in the woods and on the water. Randy’s most recent adventure was spending time with his little buddy and grandson, Kaden.

Survivors are his wife of 21 years, Julie; sons Micheal (Courtney) Kratz, Christopher (Dr. Amy) Kratz; stepchildren, Josh Montie, Zach (Jill) Montie, Jake (Elizabeth) Montie, Breanna Montie; 7 grandchildren, Hailey, Jase, Jacksyn, Braxton, Oliver, Kaden, Addi; siblings Rick Kratz, Jeff (Sharon) Kratz; sister-in-laws Diane (Greg) Wiss, and Pam (John) Carew, numerous nieces and nephews.
