Timothy T. Kruep was born on April 18, 1955 in St. Louis, Missouri to the late Edward H. and Rose C. Kruep (Huber). He was baptized into the Hope of Christ’s Resurrection on Sunday, October 9, 2022. After attending Saint John the Baptist Elementary & High Schools, Timothy went on to graduate from the University of Missouri at St. Louis (UMSL) with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Business Administration (BSBA). He worked for and retired from Eveready Battery after 20 years of service.
Timothy was a dear brother to Michael Kruep and his wife Cecilia, Uncle to Nicholas (Sarah) and their children Kaitlyn, Madelyn, & Gage Kruep; Elizabeth (Brandon) and their children Nathan, Landon, & Morgan Stober; Stephanie (Trevor) and their children Emma, Jacob, & Wyatt Davies.

Timothy loved to travel across the United States to various card shows collecting baseball autographs with his best friend Ed Martin. One might say he was one of the biggest Cardinals fan especially of Stan, “The Man” Musial. Some of his fondest memories were going to games with Ed Martin & Joe Berry.
The Mass of Christian burial was celebrated at St. Margaret Mary Alacoque Çatholic Çhurch on October 14, 2022 followed by burial at Resurrection Cemetery.
Timothy gave the “gift of life” by donating blood consistently for many years. Please consider donating blood to the American Red Cross. Donations may also be made to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque Catholic Church in his name

Tim was a good friend in high school at St John’s, as well as going to UMSL I was sorry to hear of his passing.
I too was a classmate of Tim’s at SJH’73. Sorry to hear of his passing.
Sending prayers to the family.
I am so sad to hear the news. Tim and I had been friends for years. His kind spirit was always enjoyed by everyone around !
Tim was a good friend of our brother Bob. We have fond memories of Tim. He was a wonderful person. We were shocked to hear of his passing. You have our deepest sympathies.

I just learned of Tim’s passing. I went to grade and high school with him. He often sat behind me in class, because my last name was “Koop.” I will keep his family in my prayers.
