Kenneth L. Krocak, age 64, of New Prague, died unexpectedly at his home on Wednesday, January 18, 2023. Ken was born on April 22, 1958 in St. Paul to Lloyd F. and Nancy (Holub) Krocak. He grew up in Roseville and Prior Lake, graduating from Prior Lake High School. He married Katherine Lynch, and though the marriage would dissolve, the couple raised their three children. Ken had many jobs throughout his life, including working for a flooring business and most currently as a computer technician.

Ken was an outgoing man, engaging in conversation easily and getting along well with those he met. He enjoyed tinkering on and riding his Harley and was considered a Jack-of-all-trades, able to fix just about anything that needed his attention. If he couldn't immediately fix it, he could figure out how! His gentle presence will be missed.

Ken is survived by his son, Jacob Krocak of Burnsville; daughter, Jessica (Bradley) Cox of Milwaukee, WI; father, Lloyd Krocak of Prior Lake and friend, Jean Rarer; brother, Alan Krocak of New Prague; sister, Anne Vessel of Prior Lake. He is preceded in death by his son, Jonathan Krocak; mother, Nancy Krocak; brother-in-law, Steve Vessel.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held, Saturday, January 28, 2023 at 3:00 PM at Bruzek Funeral Home with Mary Higgins officiating. Visitation will take place from 1-3 PM also at the funeral home. Burial will occur at a later date at St. John's Catholic Cemetery in rural Montgomery.
