DECEMBER 5, 1986 - DECEMBER 28, 2025
In Loving Memory of Michael Anthony Kroebel On December 28, 2025 Michael went home to be with his Heavenly Father and his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at the age of 39. He was born on December 5, 1986 in Dallas, TX.
When he was born, the nurse called him the sunshine baby because his hair lit up the room like a bright light. He graduated from Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, New Mexico. From a young age, Michael was a very affectionate and loving child. He had a great love for all little animals. In his early adult years, he worked in hospitality, which he loved. He developed excellent rapport with customers and was always a social butterfly. He enjoyed providing knowledge and helping others. He loved helping people. He also loved his family. His father was a heavy equipment mechanic, so as small boys, Michael and his brother Kristofer were always at their dad’s side, handing him tools and learning the trade of mechanics.
When he became an adult, Michael went into business with his dad and brother, traveling extensively to repair heavy equipment for large companies.
For the last five years, Michael worked for an auto parts company, continuing to provide knowledge and resources to his customers who would ask for him by name. He also loved his and his father’s off grid property, helping improve the land and helping his father with his health.
Michael’s real dream was to have his own wood working business, designing and creating his own furniture.
He took great pride in working with his hands. He loved that Jesus was a carpenter. Michael was a very gifted, artistic, and creative person. He loved being outdoors and working in the yard.
He loved growing flowers. Michael touched the lives of everyone he met, everywhere he went. And we are blessed for him being in our lives. The world is a better place because he was in it and shared his love with us all.
He is survived by his parents, his father Michael P. Kroebel, his mother Terri Ann Embry, brother Kristofer Adam Kroebel, sister Jessica Kroebel, nephew Levi Dalton, aunt Marion Kroebel, uncle Martin Kroebel, uncle Mark and aunt Bianca Thayer, his grandmother Nancy McKenzie Westover, his uncle William, aunt Alicia Watson, great aunt Sherry Westover, cousins Jennifer Hsiao, Brennan, Kinsley & Corbin Watson, Kaley Hullet, Alex Thayer, friends & coworkers. A special thanks to Mark & Bianca Thayer for their Love & Generosity.
We all love you Michael. Rest in Peace.
