Kriesel, John J. of Hugo, MN passed away peacefully Monday morning, April 15, 2024, at the age of 71.

John was born May 5, 1952, in Fridley, MN. John had a great sense of humor and was always the life of the party. He was a hard-working man who loved the outdoors, listening and singing along to Classic Rock, watching the Vikings, and taking trips to Las Vegas with his family. He was always available for a beer, laughs and good conversation. Above everything, he was a loving man with a big heart. He will be dearly missed.

Preceded in death by his parents, Irene and Roy; brother, Emmet; and sisters, Rosemary and Kathleen. Survived by his wife, Kathy; daughter, Amanda (Tony) Barott; sons, John (Kayla), Dave Einberger, Joseph (Annie) Einberger, Sean (Diana) Hunczak, and Daniel; granddaughters, Charlotte, Valerie, and Chloe; sisters, brothers, and many nieces and nephews.

To honor John's wishes, no funeral service will be held.
