Brian Kroll, 68, Had a Passion for the Water

He was born June 7, 1956. Brian was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend who touched the lives of many with his kindness and passion for the water.

An avid boater, Brian found joy and peace navigating the waters of Lake Erie, spending countless hours enjoying the lake and sharing his love for boating and fishing with family and friends. His adventurous spirit and deep appreciation for nature made him a true outdoorsman.

Brian was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Joni L. Kroll (née Nagy), with whom he shared a lifetime of love and memories. He is survived by his sons Christopher and Nicholas; his cherished grandchildren, Kayla, Otto, and Idan; and many extended family members and dear friends who will miss him deeply.
