City Hall will be closed Friday May 15 2026 so that we may attend the funeral of our co-worker Cooter.

Cooter started with the City in September of 1991 and will be greatly missed.

LYNN “COOTER” KROHN

Lynn “Cooter” Krohn, 65, of Onaga, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, May 10, 2026.

He was born December 25, 1960 in Onaga, the son of Myron and Orlene Kufahl Krohn. He graduated from Onaga High School in 1979.

Cooter was a volunteer firefighter with the Wheaton and Onaga Fire Departments.

After high school, he worked at Kufahl Hardware in Wheaton. He later worked for the Matzke Hog Market and later for Bob’s Service. For over thirty years Cooter worked for the City of Onaga, attaining the position of Public Works Supervisor.

He married Daun Renfro on November 18, 1989 in Onaga. She survives, of the home.

Cooter loved the outdoors and the life he built around family, hard work, and simple pleasures. Whether he was giving his grandkids and dogs rides on the golf cart, keeping his yard and others perfectly mowed, or caring for his tomato plants, he found happiness in everyday moments. He enjoyed cheering on all the ball teams, watching NASCAR, playing co****le, and reminiscing about his days playing slow-pitch softball. More than anything, though, he treasured his role as Papa. His grandchildren were the center of his world, and the love, laughter, and memories they shared together will live on forever.

Cooter was preceded in death by his father and a cousin, Kevin Haefner.

Other survivors include two daughters, Miranda Clowe (Neil), Wetmore and Kendal DeWalt (Keaton), Wamego, a son, Daniel Krohn (Jayme), Wamego, two brothers, Duane Krohn, Westmoreland and Mark Krohn (Suzanne), Onaga, two sisters, Delores “Dee” Ubel (Larry), Wheaton and Brenda Schlegel (Jay), Westmoreland, three grandchildren, Cal Krohn, Walker DeWalt and Miles Krohn, and many nieces and nephews.

Funeral Services will be 10:00 a.m. Friday, May 15th at the First Congregational Church in Onaga. Burial will follow in the Onaga Cemetery. Cooter will lie in state at the Chapel Oaks Funeral Home in Onaga from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Thursday. A visitation will be held from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Thursday at the church. Memorials are suggested to Lynn "Cooter" Krohn Memorial, and may be sent in care of the funeral home, PO Box 312, Onaga, KS 66521. On-line condolences may be made at chapeloaksfuneralhome.com
