Leo George Krause Jr., of Hamilton Michigan (1948 - 2023 ), joined his Heavenly family on 3/10/2023 at 74 years old. Leo attended Sandhill School, and spent a great amount of time in Central, Il. Leo was a carefree man; he loved country-road drives, impromptu fishing trips, tinkering on cars, mushroom hunting and animals. He was one of the most gentle and caring people. He lived life on his own terms and enjoyed every minute of it. He was known for his protective nature towards his family, friends and in finding delight in ruffling a few feathers.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Leo Sr. & Rose Krause and his brother Don Krause. Leo was dedicated to his friends and family. He will forever live in the hearts of his brother, Roger Krause, sister Rosalee (Mike) Norman, sister-in-Law Linda Krause, 4 nieces, and several great and great-great nieces and nephews. A celebration for Leo will take place later this year, and he will be laid to rest alongside his beloved parents.
