Robert "Rob" Christian Krumm's Obituary
Robert “Rob” Christian Krumm, 52, of Chanute, KS, went to his eternal home on September 27, 2018 where he will continue looking after his family and friends, just as he did during his life.

Rob was a loving family man who lived his life to the fullest and was more generous than most. His son, Alex, was his whole world and Rob loved supporting him in everything, especially his sports teams. Rob was a sports fanatic, and crazy about his Mizzou Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals. He arranged large tailgate parties for years and was known for his “Krumm Burgers,” which were renowned amongst Alex’s friends. Rob loved to travel with family and friends and especially enjoyed beaches during the winter, and Key West, FL at any time of the year.
Rob was employed as a District Manager for Great Western Dining Service, Inc. He worked there for many years and oversaw numerous college food service operations. Work and the relationships he made with co-workers were very important to Rob. He attended First United Methodist Church in Chanute and had a strong faith in his personal relationship with God.
